I'm confused about the reason of this recovering. Is it to remove
kprobes behind the current setting one in the current function?

If such cleanup is needed for whatever reason, I wonder what happens
to the corresponding kprobe structure, why isn't it using the arch_disarm_
helper to patch back?

(Questions that may prove my solid misunderstanding of the kprobes code ;-)

Frederic.
