The root cause appears to be that this particular mips kernel does not
have CONFIG_COMPACTION avaiable, and hence we end up with the struct
declaration within this tracepoint, and then conflicting types.

While putting the conditional around only compaction_migratepages seemed
sufficient to get the build working, it doesn't look like any of the
tracepoints should be valid, so we extend it to all definitions.

Hi all,

This was found during the update of the yocto project reference
kernel to 5.19. Out of all the supported architectures, only
mips failed during the build of lttng-modules.

Specifically, it seems like the lack of CONFIG_COMPACTION being
enabled in the kernel was the significant issue. Only one of the
tracepoints blew up, but I can't see how any of them would be
valid in this scenario, or why it would be limited to mips.

While I don't think this is the right fix, this is what got me
up and passing sanity testing, so I wanted to send the change
and see what the actual, correct fix would be :)

Cheers,

Bruce
