Sorry, should be "struct request_queue", I forgot to re-format the patch
after I fixed this.

Subject: [PATCH 7/7] blktrace: avoid accessing NULL bdev->bd_disk

bdev->bd_disk can be NULL, if the block device is not opened.

Try this against an unmounted partition, and you'll see NULL dereference:
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda5/enable
