Subject: [PREEMPT_RT PATCH 2/2] blktrace: switch trace spinlock to a raw spinlock

TRACE_EVENT disables preemption before calling the callback. Because of
that blktrace triggers the following bug under PREEMPT_RT:

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:35
 in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 119, name: kworker/u2:2

To avoid this bug, we switch the trace lock to a raw spinlock.
