[RFC/PATCH 3/8] blktrace: use strreplace in do_blk_trace_setup

[Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>]

Part of the disassembly of do_blk_trace_setup:

    231b:       e8 00 00 00 00          callq  2320 <do_blk_trace_setup+0x50>

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.
