commit ca26554a1498bc905c4a39fb42d55d93f3ae8df2 upstream.
When adding a new fprobe, it will update the function hash to the functions the fprobe is attached to and register with function graph to have it call the registered functions. The fprobe_graph_active variable keeps track of the number of fprobes that are using function graph.
If two fprobes attach to the same function, it increments the fprobe_graph_active for each of them. But when they are removed, the first fprobe to be removed will see that the function it is attached to is also used by another fprobe and it will not remove that function from function_graph. The logic will skip decrementing the fprobe_graph_active variable.
This causes the fprobe_graph_active variable to not go to zero when all fprobes are removed, and in doing so it does not unregister from function graph. As the fgraph ops hash will now be empty, and an empty filter hash means all functions are enabled, this triggers function graph to add a callback to the fprobe infrastructure for every function!

If a fprobe is being removed and all its functions are also traced by other fprobes, still decrement the fprobe_graph_active counter.
