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
c780e86 ("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.
