Thanks a lot Steve for quick patch.
I tested your patch and it seems to be working fine.

Below are the details -

root@qemu:/home/qemu# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ext4/ext4_fc_stats/format
name: ext4_fc_stats
ID: 986
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;

field:dev_t dev; offset:8; size:4; signed:0;
field:unsigned int fc_ineligible_rc[9]; offset:12; size:36; signed:0;
^^^^ It's now taking the enum value of EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX in array field too.

Also output from trace-cmd and perf script shows the right data

xfs_io 1856 [000] 173.411127: ext4:ext4_fc_stats: dev 7,2 fc ineligible reasons:
XATTR:0, CROSS_RENAME:0, JOURNAL_FLAG_CHANGE:0, NO_MEM:0, SWAP_BOOT:0, RESIZE:0, RENAME_DIR:0, FALLOC_RANGE:2, INODE_JOURNAL_DATA:0 num_commits:0, ineligible: 1, numblks: 0
