[PATCH] tracing: sched: Hide numa balancing trace events

[PATCH] tracing: sched: Hide numa balancing trace events

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The trace events sched_move_numa, sched_swap_numa and sched_stick_numa are
only used when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is enabled. Put an #ifdef guard
around the definitions of these trace events so they are not defined when
numa balancing is not enabled, otherwise they waste a bit of memory being
unused.

I just noticed that I already sent out a version of this patch here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20250612100552.39672cf9@batman.local.home/

Which is a better version than this one.

Because You can just remove the above two CPP directives.

So please ignore this one.
