blktrace: fix dereference after null check
commit 153031a301bb07194e9c37466cfce8eacb977621 upstream.
There was a recent change in blktrace.c that added a RCU protection to
`q->blk_trace` in order to fix a use-after-free issue during access.
However the change missed an edge case that can lead to dereferencing of
`bt` pointer even when it's NULL:
Coverity static analyzer marked this as a FORWARD_NULL issue with CID
1460458.
```
/kernel/trace/blktrace.c: 1904 in sysfs_blk_trace_attr_store()
1898 ret = 0;
1899 if (bt == NULL)
1900 ret = blk_trace_setup_queue(q, bdev);
1901
1902 if (ret == 0) {
1903 if (attr == &dev_attr_act_mask)
>>> CID 1460458: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
>>> Dereferencing null pointer "bt".
1904 bt->act_mask = value;
1905 else if (attr == &dev_attr_pid)
1906 bt->pid = value;
1907 else if (attr == &dev_attr_start_lba)
1908 bt->start_lba = value;
1909 else if (attr == &dev_attr_end_lba)
```
Added a reassignment with RCU annotation to fix the issue.
