The tracepoint should change to have two different notifiers that
represent one for coming and one for going (as ftrace does). The coming
one should have a priority of 0 (or INT_MIN (all other notifiers
dependent on this should have > 0)

The going notifier should have a INT_MAX to run after all other
tracepoint notifiers. (see kernel/trace/ftrace.c ftrace_module_enter_nb
and ftrace_module_exit_nb)
