Subject[PATCH 8/8] tracing: add comments to explain TRACE_EVENT out of protection
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The commit:
commit 5ac35daa9343936038a3c9c4f4d6d3fe6a2a7bd8
Author: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@cn.fujitsu.com>
tracing/events: fix the include file dependencies

Moved the TRACE_EVENT out of the ifdef protection of tracepoints.h
but uses the define of TRACE_EVENT itself as protection. This patch
adds comments to explain why.
