Now I see that it seems TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() can protect event 
tracing from such condition, but what about other users of the TP like 
blktrace? I think it'll still get NULL pointer dereference on 
bdev_get_queue() after the change, right? If so, convert to T_E_C() 
looks meaningless IMHO. Do I miss something?

Thanks,
Namhyung
