OK, I got the point.

  rethook_trampoline_handler() {
    preempt_disable() {
      preempt_count_add() { => fprobe and set rethook
      } => rethook_trampoline_handler() {
        preempt_disable() {
          ...   

So the problem is that the preempt_disable() macro calls preempt_count_add()
which can be tracable.

So, let's make it notrace.
