Ah, OK. This is fprobe's issue. fprobe depends on fgraph to check
recursion, but fgraph only detects the recursion in the entry handler.
Thus it happens in the exit handler, fprobe does not check the recursion.

But since the fprobe provides users to register callback at exit, it
should check the recursion in return path too.
