Since request queue's blk_trace member is been markds as __rcu,
replace xchg() and cmdxchg() calls with appropriate rcu API.
This removes the sparse warnings.

The xchg() call is replaced with rcu_replace_pointer() since all the
calls for xchg are protected are q->blk_trace_mutex. On replacing
the pointer rcu_replace_pointer returns the old value if that value is
NULL then existing code returns an error.

In setup functions cmpxchg() call is replaced with calls to
rcu_dereference_pointer() and rcu_replace_pointer(). The first
dereference pointer call returns the existing value. If the value is
not NULL existing code returns an error, otherwise the second call to
replace pointer sets the new value.

This patch looks like a subset of a patch that was posted a few days ago
by Jan Kara? See also

Thanks for pointing out. I think my patch maintains the goto labels and
keeps the original code flow with two calls as mentioned in the patch
description. Maybe we can merge both patches keeping Jan as an Original 
author since his patch was sent first ?

At the end of the I just want to fix these warnings before I re-spin
blktrace extension series.

Yes, my patch also removes the unnecessary atomic operations besides fixing
the sparse warnings. I'll rebase it on top of Luis' patches [1] which conflict
with it and resend it.
