Subject: [PATCH] tracing, memcg, vmscan: Hide trace events when not in use

From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@...dmis.org>

When trace events are defined but not used they still create data
structures and functions for their use, even though nothing may be
using them.

The trace events mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_begin,
mm_vmscan_memcg_softlimit_reclaim_begin, mm_vmscan_memcg_reclaim_end,
and mm_vmscan_memcg_softlimit_reclaim_end are not used if CONFIG_MEMCG
is not defined. Do not create these trace events unless CONFIG_MEMCG is
defined.
