if blktrace program segfault it will not be able
to call BLKTRACETEARDOWN. Now if we run the blktrace
again that would result in a failure to create the
block/<device> debugfs directory.This will result
in blk_remove_root() to be called which will set
blk_tree_root to NULL. But the  debugfs block dir
still exist because it contain subdirectory.

Now if we try to fix it using BLKTRACETEARDOWN
it won't work because blk_tree_root is NULL.

Fix the same.

Tested as below

root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace  -d /dev/hdc
Segmentation fault
root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace  -d /dev/hdc
BLKTRACESETUP: No such file or directory
Failed to start trace on /dev/hdc

root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace  -d /dev/hdc
