kernel/trace/blktrace.c: use strreplace() in do_blk_trace_setup()
Part of the disassembly of do_blk_trace_setup:

Yep, that's right: gcc isn't smart enough to realize that replacing '/' by
'_' cannot change the strlen(), so we call it again and again (at least
when a '/' is found). Even if gcc were that smart, this construction
would still loop over the string twice, once for the initial strlen() call
and then the open-coded loop.
Let's simply use strreplace() instead.
