Ye Bin dcd1a59c62 blktrace: fix possible memleak in '__blk_trace_remove'
When test as follows:
step1: ioctl(sda, BLKTRACESETUP, &arg)
step2: ioctl(sda, BLKTRACESTART, NULL)
step3: ioctl(sda, BLKTRACETEARDOWN, NULL)
step4: ioctl(sda, BLKTRACESETUP, &arg)
Got issue as follows:
debugfs: File 'dropped' in directory 'sda' already present!
debugfs: File 'msg' in directory 'sda' already present!
debugfs: File 'trace0' in directory 'sda' already present!

And also find syzkaller report issue like "KASAN: use-after-free Read in relay_switch_subbuf"
"https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=13849f0d9b1b818b087341691be6cc3ac6a6bfb7"

If remove block trace without stop(BLKTRACESTOP) block trace, '__blk_trace_remove'
will just set 'q->blk_trace' with NULL. However, debugfs file isn't removed, so
will report file already present when call BLKTRACESETUP.
static int __blk_trace_remove(struct request_queue *q)
{
        struct blk_trace *bt;

        bt = rcu_replace_pointer(q->blk_trace, NULL,
                                 lockdep_is_held(&q->debugfs_mutex));
        if (!bt)
                return -EINVAL;

	if (bt->trace_state != Blktrace_running)
        	blk_trace_cleanup(q, bt);

        return 0;
}

If do test as follows:
step1: ioctl(sda, BLKTRACESETUP, &arg)
step2: ioctl(sda, BLKTRACESTART, NULL)
step3: ioctl(sda, BLKTRACETEARDOWN, NULL)
step4: remove sda

There will remove debugfs directory which will remove recursively all file
under directory.
>> blk_release_queue
>>	debugfs_remove_recursive(q->debugfs_dir)
So all files which created in 'do_blk_trace_setup' are removed, and
'dentry->d_inode' is NULL. But 'q->blk_trace' is still in 'running_trace_lock',
'trace_note_tsk' will traverse 'running_trace_lock' all nodes.
>>trace_note_tsk
>>  trace_note
>>    relay_reserve
>>       relay_switch_subbuf
>>        d_inode(buf->dentry)->i_size

To solve above issues, reference commit '5afedf670caf', call 'blk_trace_cleanup'
unconditionally in '__blk_trace_remove' and first stop block trace in
'blk_trace_cleanup'.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
