This patch is not reverting to the old code properly. It introduces a
static inline void function that returns NULL. Please compile-test
with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=n before submitting a patch involving tracepoints.

But this patch should not even be needed in the first place, because it
partially reverts changes that were introduced in the bpf-next tree without
any Acked-by from the tracing maintainers. I don't see any need to obfuscate
the git log of tracepoint.{c,h}.

Thanks,

Mathieu
