Yes, if kprobe_on_func_entry() returns false, register_kretprobe() also returns
an error.

int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp)
{
        int ret = 0;
        struct kretprobe_instance *inst;
        int i;
        void *addr;

        if (!kprobe_on_func_entry(rp->kp.addr, rp->kp.symbol_name, rp->kp.offset))
                return -EINVAL;
