Replacing llvm::Statistic with llvm::TrackingStatistic can make such usage work, but I am not sure it is suitable. So I choose the simplest approach `#if LLVM_ENABLE_STATS`.

Fair enough - if it's untested and unused it's hardly the end of the world & noteworthy if this is the odd one out in terms of using the statistics name/etc even when stats aren't enabled.

I don't think this has to be addressed to ship this given all that - but might be worth clarifying/adding the nuance to the patch description/commit message.
