Subject: [PATCH v2 09/10] block: panic if block debugfs dir is not created

If DEBUG_FS is disabled we have another inline
blk_debugfs_register() which just returns 0.

If BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE is enabled we rely on the block debugfs
directory to have been created. If BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE is not enabled
though, but if debugfs is still enabled we will always create a
debugfs directory for a request_queue. Instead of special-casing
this just for BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE, ensure this block debugfs dir is
always created at boot if we have enabled debugfs.
