The fsession is something that similar to kprobe session. It allow to
attach a single BPF program to both the entry and the exit of the target
functions.

According to the comment below we make this exception due to LSM.
FSESSION won't be using FSESSION programs, no? So this is not
necessary?
The comment describe the LSM case here, but the code
here is not only for LSM. It is also for FEXIT, which makes
sure that we can get the return value with "ctx[nr_args]".
So I think we still need it here, as we need to access the
return value with "ctx[nr_args]" too.
please update the comment then as well
ACK
