Yes, I did that conversion, sorry, wasn't thinking about how that might affect
the build.  Given that converting to a TRACE_EVENT shouldn't be noticible to any
of the users of that tracepoint (it can still be hooked in an identical
fashion), I'd vote for just doing a monolitic patch.  please find that below.

Fix tracing infrastructure to allow multiple header files with TRACE_EVENTS to
be included with CREATE_TRACE_EVENTS defined

I've been workingon adding a few tracepoints to the network stack, and in so
doing it was convienient for me to add a second include file to
net/core/net-traces.c with TRACE_EVENTS defined in them.  net-traces.c defines
CREATE_TRACE_EVENTS, and during the build it was failing, complaining about
duplicate definitions of __tpstrtab_<name>.  I tracked down the bug to find that
define_trace.h redefined DECLARE_TRACE to be DEFINE_TRACE, so after the first
run through define_trace.h (which is included from skb.h, included in
net-trace.c first), the DECLARE_TRACE macro was left with an improper definition
to start a new cycle with the next header.

The fix I came up with was to make sure that DECLARE_TRACE was undefined at the
end of define_trace.h, and to add a conditional re-definition in tracepoint.h.
This places us back in the proper state to define a new set of tracepoints in a
subsequent header file.


Note this patch also converts the napi_poll tracepoint to a TRACE_EVENT.  This
is done so that the TRACE_EVENT fix doesn't break the build, and because its
rather pointless I think given the current tracing infrastructure to not have
napi_poll be an independent event.
