Subject: [PATCH V4 2/2] blktrace: allow access trace file in lockdown mode

blktrace trace files are per-cpu relay files that are used by kernel to
export IO metadata(IO events, type, target disk, offset and len etc.) to
userspace, no data from IO itself will be exported. Bypass lockdown for
these files will make blktrace work in lockdown mode.
