Yes, the core reason is caused by ipmodify flag (not only for kretprobes).
Before commit 0bc11ed5ab60 ("kprobes: Allow kprobes coexist with
livepatch"), it's very easy to trigger this problem.
The kprobe has other problems and is communicating with Masami.

With this fix, whenever an error is returned after
add_kprobe_event_legacy(), this guarantees cleanup of the kprobe
event.
