I have nothing really against these patches, but why is the current
code considered wrong?

Note, TRACE_EVENTS() are "special macros". They hold structure
definitions and full code inside the argument list. There should be no
reason that this is causing a warning.

Perhaps we should blacklist the include/trace directory from sparse
checking for these types of "errors".
