Subject: [PATCH v3] 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

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