To mitigate the issue:

1) On the host, save the following in a file with the ".stp" extension:

probe kernel.function("mem_write@fs/proc/base.c").call {
  $count = 0
}

2) Install the "systemtap" package and any required dependencies. Refer to
the "2. Using SystemTap" chapter in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
"SystemTap Beginners Guide" document, available from docs.redhat.com, for
information on installing the required -debuginfo packages.

3) Run the "stap -g [filename-from-step-1].stp" command as root.

If the host is rebooted, the changes will be lost and the script must be
run again.
