[BUG][PATCH] Kprobes - Increment kprobe missed count for multiprobes
When multiple probes are registered at the same address and if due
to some recursion (probe getting triggered within a probe handler),
we skip calling pre_handlers and just increment nmissed field.
The below patch make sure it walks the list for multiple probes
case. Without the below patch we get incorrect results of nmissed
count for multiple probe case.

That's not a good name for a global identifier. I renamed it to
kprobes_inc_nmissed_count().
Sounds good. I should have done a better job. Any way thanks Andrew.
