>Description:
If a lock is acquired or released in the inlined fastpath, the appropriate lockstat probe will not fire if the .c file has not included "opt_kdtrace.h".  This is because the mtx_(un)lock macros do not call the probe if KDTRACE_HOOKS is not defined.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
KDTRACE_HOOKS may have to move into "opt_global.h"
