I greped in /usr/local/share/systemtap/tapsets/syscall.stp, and found 
  for the return of syscalls, in some places, it set name to 
syscallname, while in other places it set name to syscall.return, e.g.:

probe kernel.syscall.chdir.return =
    kernel.function("sys_chdir").return {
       name = "chdir.return"
}

probe syscall.accept.return = kernel.function("sys_accept").return {
   name = "accept"
   returnp = 1 /*seem to use returnp=1 to mark this as a return probe*/
}

so we need to make the name consistent.
