Yes, this is just for making code review easy. :)

So, 
	return smp_load_acquire(ri->rph->rp);
will be enough?

In kprobe_busy_begin() we disable preempt, so this block is not preemptive.
And as you may know, the unregister_kretprobe() is waiting rcu grace period
after it clear the rp->rph->rp. So, someone does unregister_kretprobe() at
(A), rph->rp = NULL but rp itself is not released until all running
trampoline_handlers exit.

Oops, I had found it once but forgot to fix :(

Yes, as I said above, the get_kretprobe() (and kretprobe handler) must be
called under preempt-disabled.
