    MD RAID5:  Fix kernel oops when RAID4/5/6 is used via device-mapper
    
    Commit a9add5d9
    
     (v3.8-rc1) added blktrace calls to the RAID4/5/6 driver.
    However, when device-mapper is used to create RAID4/5/6 arrays, the
    mddev->gendisk and mddev->queue fields are not setup.  Therefore, calling
    things like trace_block_bio_remap will cause a kernel oops.  This patch
    conditionalizes those calls on whether the proper fields exist to make
    the calls.  (Device-mapper will call trace_block_bio_remap on its own.)
    
    This patch is suitable for the 3.8.y stable kernel.
