The macro is currently never used, I'm planning to use it in a future
patch.
Likewise also DECLARE_TRACE_SYSCALL is never used and would fail the
build if used. I'm not sure if the macro would be of use in this way,
since it's missing the reg and unreg parameters used in
DEFINE_TRACE_SYSCALL, one way not to fail the build is to treat it just like
DECLARE_TRACE (as DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION).
I can prepare this as a patch if it's the intended behaviour:
