biosnoop.bt: use block tracepoints
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
because since linux-5.17
functions blk_account_io_start and blk_account_io_done
became static and can't be used as kprobes.

Using major and minor because unfortunately disk_name
is not exported to tracepoints.

Tested in linux-6.5 and linux-4.18
