If the kernel doesn't support uprobe_ref_ctr but the event requires
to increment uprobe_ref_ctr, I think we should (at least) warn user here.

We don't have to care about uprobe_ref_ctr support here, because
this information will be just cached, not directly written to
uprobe_events.

Other parts look good to me.
