Similar to x86 kretprobe deadlock issue, arm64 also implements
kretprobe-booster (trampoline code directly call handler.)
So it has same deadlock issue if there are 2 kretprobes on
normal function and the function called from FIQ (or anywhere
which can be invoked when local_irq_disabled).

This fixes the issue as same as we did on x86.
