Both the dtrace and ust backends may include <sys/sdt.h> but LTTng
Userspace Tracer 2.11 and later requires SDT_USE_VARIADIC to be defined
before including the header file.
This is a classic problem with C header files included from different
parts of a program. If the same header is included twice within the same
compilation unit then the first inclusion determines the macro
environment.
Work around this by defining SDT_USE_VARIADIC in the dtrace backend too.
It doesn't hurt and fixes a missing STAP_PROBEV() compiler error when
the ust backend is enabled together with the dtrace backend.

I am also sending a fix to the LTTng Userspace Tracer project to add
-DSDT_USE_VARIADIC to the pkg-config CFLAGS so that applications define
the macro consistently. But this patch is still needed as a workaround
for lttng-ust 2.11.
