I work on ftrace-plugin blktrace and blk TRACE_EVENT, but don't know
much about the old blktrace history. ;)

I think the manpage says it's called before ->make_request_fn(), so
"No real requests exist yet".

Actually the trace was called just before make_request at first:
2056a782f8e7e65fd4bfd027506b4ce1c5e9ccd4

And then 2 patches added some checks between them:
5ddfe9691c91a244e8d1be597b6428fcefd58103
51fd77bd9f512ab6cc9df0733ba1caaab89eb957

It seems to me it makes sense to have this patch.
