blktrace: Avoid sparse warnings when assigning q->blk_trace
Mostly for historical reasons, q->blk_trace is assigned through xchg() and cmpxchg() atomic operations. Although this is correct, sparse complains about this because it violates rcu annotations since commit c780e86d ("blktrace: Protect q->blk_trace with RCU") which started to use rcu for accessing q->blk_trace. Furthermore there's no real need for atomic operations anymore since all changes to q->blk_trace happen under q->blk_trace_mutex and since it also makes more sense to check if q->blk_trace is set with the mutex held earlier. So let's just replace xchg() with rcu_replace_pointer() and cmpxchg() with explicit check and rcu_assign_pointer(). This makes the code more efficient and sparse happy.
