commit e03b4a084ea6b0a18b0e874baec439e69090c168 upstream. The in_nmi() check in pre_handler_kretprobe() is meant to avoid recursion, and blindly assumes that anything NMI is recursive. However, since commit: 9b38cc704e84 ("kretprobe: Prevent triggering kretprobe from within kprobe_flush_task") there is a better way to detect and avoid actual recursion. By setting a dummy kprobe, any actual exceptions will terminate early (by trying to handle the dummy kprobe), and recursion will not happen. Employ this to avoid the kretprobe_table_lock() recursion, replacing the over-eager in_nmi() check.
