Actually, when I thought of this, I was thinking more of:

diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_events_user.c b/kernel/trace/trace_events_user.c
index 846c27bc7aef..0f3aa855cf72 100644
--- a/kernel/trace/trace_events_user.c
+++ b/kernel/trace/trace_events_user.c
@@ -18,7 +18,11 @@
 #include <linux/tracefs.h>
 #include <linux/types.h>

 #include <uapi/linux/user_events.h>

 #include "trace_dynevent.h"
 
That way, when we take it out of broken state, it will fail to compile, and
remind us to put it back into the uapi directory.
