Oops, obviously there are bugs...

As far as I can check the code again, it is enough to remove this patch and
to add context_track_user_*() to kprobe blacklist, since those checks
in_interrupt() at the entry and returns immediately. It seems
we have no problem on it. I think that was my fault. :(

I'll send a bugfix, thank you!
