tracing: prevent NULL pointer dereference in ftrace_raw_event_block_bio_bounce
Booting 2.6.31 and executing echo 1 >/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable leads to BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<c032a583>] ftrace_raw_event_block_bio_bounce+0x4b/0xb9 Apparently, bio = bio_map_user(q, NULL, uaddr, len, reading, gfp_mask); is called in block/blk-map.c:58 where bio->bi_bdev in set to NULL and still is NULL when an attempt is made to evaluate bio->bi_bdev->bd_dev in include/trace/events/block.h:189. The tracepoint should ensure bio->bi_bdev is not dereferenced, if NULL.
