A couple of issues with RCU_TRACE usage noted below. With those fixed:

RCU_TRACE doesn't act like a statement, and doesn't take a semicolon; it
just acts like a shorthand for an #ifdef. The semicolon belongs inside
the macro parentheses, since it goes with the declaration. Otherwise,
this compiles to the empty statement ';' without tracing. Among other
things, that would lead to surprises for anyone who added a subsequent
declaration, because ';' followed by a declaration will produce a
-Wdeclaration-after-statement warning.
