Let me explain how the patches are usually merged.

- kernel/kprobes.c related patches go through the tip tree.
- kernel/trace/* patches go through the tracing tree.

So traditionally(?) I think this series go through the tip tree,
but since the biggest user of kprobes is tracing and the kprobes fix
now involves tree-wide fixes as you can see in this series, I think
it is a good timing to move kprobes to tracing tree.

Thank you,
