    tracing: Add __used annotation to event variable
    
    The TRACE_EVENT() macros automate creation of trace events. To automate
    initialization, the set up variables are loaded in a special section
    that is read on boot up. GCC is not aware that these static variables
    are used and will complain about them if we do not inform GCC that
    they are indeed used.
    
    One of the declarations of the event element was missing a __used
    annotation. This patch adds it.
