blktrace: re-write setting q->blk_trace
This is really about simplifying the double xchg patterns into
a single cmpxchg, with the same logic. Other than the immediate
cleanup, there are some subtleties this change deals with:
(i) While the load of the old bt is fully ordered wrt everything,
ie:
old_bt = xchg(&q->blk_trace, bt); [barrier]
if (old_bt)
(void) xchg(&q->blk_trace, old_bt); [barrier]
blk_trace could still be changed between the xchg and the old_bt
load. Note that this description is merely theoretical and afaict
very small, but doing everything in a single context with cmpxchg
closes this potential race.
(ii) Ordering guarantees are obviously kept with cmpxchg.
(iii) Gets rid of the hacky-by-nature (void)xchg pattern.
