Assuming we don't have kfuncs that accepts program context (like
bpf_get_stack(), if it was a kfunc) and that doesn't access
bpf_run_ctx (like bpf_get_func_ip()). We just need to be careful about
adding new special kfuncs like that going forward (not sure how to
best ensure we don't forget, though). Other than that I agree that
it's all "tracing".
