Instead of doing this #ifdef here, perhaps we should have at the top of the file:

#ifdef CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS
# define TRACE_EVENT_SCHEDSTAT TRACE_EVENT
#else
# define TRACE_EVENT_SCHEDSTAT TRACE_EVENT_NOP
#endif

And then switch the sched stat tracepoints from TRACE_EVENT to
use TRACE_EVENT_SCHEDSTAT.

And if my magic macro hat is working while sitting on the shelf (don't
have time to put it on), then the TRACE_EVENT_SCHEDSTAT will work like
a TRACE_EVENT when enabled, and a TRACE_EVENT_NOP when not.

Can you give that a try?

If this works, you don't need to duplicate all the parameters again.
