blktrace: Make sure BLKTRACETEARDOWN does the full cleanup.
if blktrace program segfault it will not be able
to call BLKTRACETEARDOWN. Now if we run the blktrace
again that would result in a failure to create the
block/<device> debugfs directory.This will result
in blk_remove_root() to be called which will set
blk_tree_root to NULL. But the debugfs block dir
still exist because it contain subdirectory.
Now if we try to fix it using BLKTRACETEARDOWN
it won't work because blk_tree_root is NULL.
Fix the same.
Tested as below
root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace -d /dev/hdc
Segmentation fault
root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace -d /dev/hdc
BLKTRACESETUP: No such file or directory
Failed to start trace on /dev/hdc
root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace -k /dev/hdc
root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace -d /dev/hdc
