Yeah, that makes sense to me. Although I think you mean if
defined(CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS) rather than if !defined(CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS). The
case I'm moving to outside the unprotected area is the one that we use if
tracepoints are enabled. I just tested this new patch, and it works well for
me. Thanks!

Fix tracing infrastructure to allow multiple header files with TRACE_EVENTS to
be included with CREATE_TRACE_EVENTS defined
I've been workingon adding a few tracepoints to the network stack, and in so
doing it was convienient for me to add a second include file to
net/core/net-traces.c with TRACE_EVENTS defined in them. net-traces.c defines
CREATE_TRACE_EVENTS, and during the build it was failing, complaining about
duplicate definitions of __tpstrtab_<name>. I tracked down the bug to find that
define_trace.h redefined DECLARE_TRACE to be DEFINE_TRACE, so after the first
run through define_trace.h (which is included from skb.h, included in
net-trace.c first), the DECLARE_TRACE macro was left with an improper definition
to start a new cycle with the next header.
The fix I came up with was to make sure that DECLARE_TRACE was undefined at the
end of define_trace.h, and to add a conditional re-definition in tracepoint.h.
This places us back in the proper state to define a new set of tracepoints in a
subsequent header file.
