blktrace: fix a race when creating blk_tree_root in debugfs
t1 t2
------ ------
do_blk_trace_setup() do_blk_trace_setup()
if (!blk_tree_root) {
if (!blk_tree_root)
blk_tree_root = create_dir()
blk_tree_root = create_dir();
(now blk_tree_root == NULL)
...
dir = create_dir(name, blk_tree_root);
Due to this race, t1 will create 'dir' in /debugfs but not /debugfs/block.
