blktrace: add trace/ to /sys/block/sda

Impact: allow ftrace-plugin blktrace to trace device-mapper devices

To trace a single partition:
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/enable

To trace the whole sda instead:
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/enable

Thus we also fix an issue reported by Ted, that ftrace-plugin blktrace
can't be used to trace device-mapper devices.

Now:

  # echo 1 > /sys/block/dm-0/trace/enable
  echo: write error: No such device or address
  # mount -t ext4 /dev/dm-0 /mnt
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/dm-0/trace/enable
  # echo blk > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
