The commit:

 9f987b3141f086de27832514aad9f50a53f754
 tracing: Include module.h in define_trace.h

only solved half the problem. If the trace/events/module.h header is
included at the time of define_trace.h (or in ftrace.h within it),
the module.h TRACE_SYSTEM will override the current TRACE_SYSTEM
macro.

Since define_trace.h is included when CREATE_TRACE_POINTS is set,
and the first thing it does is to #undef CREATE_TRACE_POINTS,
by placing the module.h TRACE_SYSTEM inside a
 #ifdef CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
we can prevent it from overriding the TRACE_SYSTEM that is
being processed, and still process the module.h tracepoints
when the module code defines CREATE_TRACE_POINTS and includes
the trace/events/module.h header.

As with commit 9f987b3141, this is only an issue if module.h
is not included before the trace/events/<event>.h file is
included, which (luckily) has not happened yet.
