OK, if the lock is only used in the probe handlers, there should be
no problem. Even if a probe hits in the NMI which happens in another
kprobe handler, the probe does not call its handler (because we don't
support nested kprobes* yet).
But maybe you'll get warnings if you enable the lockdep.

It seems that we need more work for the nested kprobes.
Thank you,
