I just checked, and yes, I think that histograms (the only other trigger
that has EVENT_CMD_FL_NEEDS_REC set) has the same issue, and requires:

diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c b/kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c
index 087c19548049..1c82478e8dff 100644

 	for_each_hist_key_field(i, hist_data) {


I'll add that next.
