I think my understanding based on what Eric depicted differs from you:
we're supposed to filter out those many invalid cases and only trace
the valid action of sending a icmp, so where to add a new tracepoint
is important instead of adding more checks in the tracepoint itself.
Please refer to what trace_tcp_retransmit_skb() does :)

Thanks,
Jason
