OK, I see why you did the macro magic here. But it's still obfuscates
the code.

Instead of having that find_trace_mark() be a static function, just
make it defined in trace_output.c that function_graph calls. This code
is used for outputting to userspace and a function call is not going to
be noticed.

As it would now be a global function (although only defined in
kernel/trace), we need to make the name a bit more specific. Instead of
calling it find_trace_mark(), call it trace_duration_mark().
