blktrace: Don't output messages if NOTIFY isn't set.
Now if we enable blktrace, cfq has too many messages output to the
trace buffer. It is fine if we don't specify any action mask.
But if I do like this:
blktrace /dev/sdb -a issue -a complete -o - | blkparse -i -
I only want to see 'D' and 'C', while with the following command
dd if=/mnt/ocfs2/test of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1 iflag=direct
I will get(with a 2.6.37 vanilla kernel):

See, there are 19 lines while I only need 2. I don't think it is
appropriate for a user.
So this patch will disable any messages if the BLK_TC_NOTIFY isn't set.
Now the output for the same command will look like:
8,16 0 1 0.000000000 4908 D R 114759 + 8 [dd]
8,16 0 2 0.000146827 0 C R 114759 + 8 [0]
Yes, it is what I want to see.
