If one was enabled and the second one failed, that should only happen
if there's a bug in the kernel (unless the failure was due to a memory
problem).

I wonder if we should add:

			int cnt = 0;

> +			list_for_each_entry(pos, trace_probe_probe_list(tp), list) {

				/*
				 * It's a bug if one failed for something other than memory
				 * not being available but another eprobe succeeded.
				 */
				WARN_ON_ONCE(cnt++ && ret != -ENOMEM);
