blktrace: fix a race when creating blk_tree_root in debugfs

  if (!blk_tree_root) {
                                    if (!blk_tree_root)
    blk_tree_root = create_dir()
                                      blk_tree_root = create_dir();
                                      (now blk_tree_root == NULL)
  ...
  dir = create_dir(name, blk_tree_root);

Due to this race, t1 will create 'dir' in /debugfs but not /debugfs/block.
