Much better.

Hmm, I wonder if we should also add:

		} else if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_LOCKDEP)) { \
			/* Expose this lock when lockdep is enabled */ \
			guard(spinlock)(&dmabuf->name_lock);	\
		}

This way, if there is any issue taking the lock, lockdep will flag it
without having to enable the tracepoint.

When LOCKDEP is not configured, the compiler should remove that block.

For the rest of the patch, from a tracing point of view:
