Please add a comment here. Something to the effect of:

/*
 * Ideally we would want to use the trace_<tracepoint>_enabled() helper
 * functions. But due to include header file issues, that is not
 * feasible. Instead we have to open code the static key functions.
 *
 * See trace_##name##_enabled(void) in include/linux/tracepoint.h
 */

I may have to work on something that lets these helpers be defined in
headers. I have some ideas on how to do that. But for now, this
solution is fine.
