So, this is actually called right before BUG(), which means we found
a non-recoverable error while recovering from reentrant kprobes.
Since the BUG() dumps all registers and stack as same as WARN(),
I think we should keep it.
(I would like to dump all kprobes fields like flags, etc. so that
we can find it is broken or not.)

Thank you,
