Good point, I chose the name based simply on the usage pattern found
in all the callers. Of your suggestions I like handle_kprobes_fault
better.

How about check_kprobes_fault? That seems to cover what you were
getting at with maybe_handle_kprobes_fault but is shorter. That
also fits better with the !CONFIG_KPROBES case.
