Yes - I think the order of release is correct.

Ok - I didn't have a testcase where the request_fn would be NULL.
So in this case I propose this patch:

---
Add missing blk_trace_remove_sysfs to be in pair with blk_trace_init_sysfs
introduced in commit 1d54ad6da9192fed5dd3b60224d9f2dfea0dcd82.
Release kobject also in case the request_fn is NULL.

Problem was noticed via kmemleak backtrace when some sysfs entries were
note properly destroyed during device removal:
