transaction: fix NULL-pointer dereference in trans_alloc()

Unlike LOG_TRANS_CAT(), LOG_TRANS() is not NULL-safe:

  LOG_TRANS_CAT(trans, (trans)->log_subsys, level, fmt, ##args)
                       ^^^^^^^^^  NULL-pointer dereference

Let's rather use generic LOGP() macro with pre-calculated logging
subsystem. Intentional use of LOG_TRANS_CAT() doesn't make sense
anyway, because the result would be uninformative:

  trans(NULL NULL callref-0x0 tid-0) ...
