I think this fix is harmless and has some value in terms of
consistency. One minor suggestion is that you should leave a space
after typecasting.
- TRACE_POSTGRESQL_LWLOCK_WAIT_DONE(T_NAME(lock), mode);
+ TRACE_POSTGRESQL_LWLOCK_WAIT_DONE(T_NAME(lock), (int)mode);
There should be a space like "(int) mode".

Is there any commit in PG-10 which has caused this behavior? If not,
then I don't think it should be added to open items of PG-10.
