I do not see any problems there. Well, except for too scary code.
If you see, elaborate, I could miss something.

IMHO it prevents nothing. It just minimizes patch success. :-)
Is it correct that all these kludges are done to avoid stop machine?
Or is it still used? Sleeping states must be responsibility of patch maker,
protections based on traces are  just useless, kernel simply cannot do it
by many reasons f.e. because of tail calls.

Yes, almost infinitely. In the last case we had 16 dead rpcs, each has
queued 200000-300000
requests. Each connect waits for ~2sec. So, counting: it would take
~75 days to finish. :-)
With -j DROP they were processed faster than I started drgn to measure
the rate, some
seconds.
