(b)Effect of Finality of Judgment.— Notwithstanding the fact that a sentence of probation can subsequently be—
(1)modified or revoked pursuant to the provisions of section 3564 or 3565;
(2)corrected pursuant to the provisions of rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and section 3742; or
