applied to tip:tracing/blktrace, thanks Arnaldo!

btw., there's only one warning remaining in all of blktrace.c:

| CHECK: memory barrier without comment
| #555: FILE: blktrace.c:555:
| + smp_mb();
|
| total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 1 checks, 1549 lines checked

and here checkpatch is kind of right that we should document this particular
smp_mb(). If you stick a comment in front of that statement, explaining that
barrier, then checkpatch will stop complaining.
