You can add a section with the #ifdef *MAX_TRACE and use static inline
for these (or use an existing section):

#ifdef CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE
static void put_snapshot_map(struct trace_array *tr)
{
	spin_lock(&tr->snapshot_trigger_lock);
	if (!WARN_ON(!tr->mapped))
		tr->mapped--;
	spin_unlock(&tr->snapshot_trigger_lock);	
}
[..]
#else
static inline void put_snapshot_map(struct trace_array *tr) { }
[..]
#endif

The above could be:

static int get_snapshot_map(struct trace_array *tr)
{
	/*
	 * We hold mmap_lock here. lockdep would be unhappy if we would now take
	 * trace_types_lock. Instead use the specific snapshot_trigger_lock.
	 */
	spin_lock(&tr->snapshot_trigger_lock);
	if (tr->snapshot || tr->mapped == UINT_MAX) {
		spin_unlock(&tr->snapshot_trigger_lock);
		return -EBUSY;
	}
	tr->mapped++;
	spin_unlock(&tr->snapshot_trigger_lock);

	/* Wait for update_max_tr() to observe iter->tr->mapped */
	if (tr->mapped == 1)
		synchronize_rcu();

	return 0;
}
#else
static inline test_snapshot_map(struct trace_array *tr)
{
	return 0;
}
[..]

Then here just have:

	ret = test_snapshot_map(tr);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;

and the above is just:

	if (ret)
		put_snapshot_map(tr);
