tracing/blktrace: Fix to allow setting same value

commit 757d9140072054528b13bbe291583d9823cde195 upstream.

Masami Hiramatsu reported:

  Current trace-enable attribute in sysfs returns an error
  if user writes the same setting value as current one,
  e.g.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

  But this is not a preferred behavior, it should ignore
  if new setting is same as current one. This fixes the
  problem as below.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
