Why create these last two tracepoints at all?  dev_kfree_skb_irq will eventually
pass through kfree_skb anyway, getting picked up by the tracepoint there, the
while the latter won't (since it uses __kfree_skb instead), I think that could
be fixed up by add a call to trace_kfree_skb there directly, saving you two
tracepoints.
