tracing/function-return-tracer: don't trace kfree while it frees the return stack
Impact: fix a crash
While I killed the cat process, I got sometimes the following (but rare)
crash:

This is because on do_exit(), kfree is called to free the return addresses stack
but kfree is traced and stored its return address in this stack.
This patch fixes it.
