However, this means that a user-space task spawned by call_usermodehelper() won't report the system calls if kernel_execve() is called when sys_tracepoint_refcount != 0. Remove this check. Hopefully the unnecessary report from ret_from_fork path mentioned by cc3b13c1 is fine. In fact "this is the only case" is not true. Say, kernel_execve() itself does "int 80" on X86_32. Hopefully fine too.
