No, this was not my concern.
My concern is with two users on the same USDT.
1. First user enables the probe point but doesn't increment the ref_cnt.
via uprobe_register

2. Second user tries to enable the probe point and also increments the
ref_cnt via uprobe_register_refctr.

3. If the second user now removes the probe point via uprobe_unregister.

4. What is the state of the ref_cnt?
