Subject: [PATCH v2 08/10] blktrace: add checks for created debugfs files on setup

Even though debugfs can be disabled, enabling BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE will
select DEBUG_FS, and blktrace exposes an API which userspace uses
relying on certain files created in debugfs. If files are not created
blktrace will not work correctly, so we do want to ensure that a
blktrace setup creates these files properly, and otherwise inform
userspace.
