[PATCH] kretprobe instance recycled by parent process
When kretprobe probes the schedule() function, if the probed process exits then schedule() will never return, so some kretprobe instances will never be recycled. In this patch the parent process will recycle retprobe instances of the probed function and there will be no memory leak of kretprobe instances.
