Yeah, but that is the feature for kprobe events, and not applied to
the kprobes itself. Maybe I should use a test kprobe module to
put a probe on it.

Oops, thanks for pointing! Hmm, I thought stackinfo_get_task() is an
inlined function usually. Maybe we should make it nokprobe_inline.
But this is just one case. I need to scan all symbols to trace...
