kretprobe_assert() is only for the internal check. So we don't need to care
about, and disable/enable_kretprobe() are anyway returns -EINVAL because
kretprobe can not be registered. And all of them are inlined functions.
In that case, we don't need to care about it.
I just concerned that it is a waste of memory if there are useless kretprobe
related instances are built when CONFIG_KRETPROBES=n.

Thank you,
