No, that including defined(CONFIG_FSNOTIFY) :)

So it must be something like 

  #if defined(CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE) || defined(CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER) \
          || defined(CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER)
  #define USE_MAX_TRACE_OPS
  #endif

  #if defined(USE_MAX_TRACE_OPS) && defined(CONFIG_FSNOTIFY)
  #define LATENCY_FS_NOTIFY
  #endif


But this introduces a hidden dependency which is not tracked by
kconfig. So I think it is better to make those kconfig (non-menu)
items. (and the question came up, why can't those use (depend on)
CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE instead of introducing the USE_MAX_TRACE_OPS.)

Thank you,
