[2/4] trace: Direct access of atomics is verboten, use the API

The GLib Reference Manual says:

    It is very important that all accesses to a particular integer or
    pointer be performed using only this API and that different sizes
    of operation are not mixed or used on overlapping memory
    regions. Never read or assign directly from or to a value --
    always use this API.

Nothing beats a patch summary with a word that English loans from the
submitter's mother tongue! :) Extra points for the Vau.
