blkcg: shoot down blkio_groups on elevator switch
Elevator switch may involve changes to blkcg policies. Implement shoot down of blkio_groups. Combined with the previous bypass updates, the end goal is updating blkcg core such that it can ensure that blkcg's being affected become quiescent and don't have any per-blkg data hanging around before commencing any policy updates. Until queues are made aware of the policies that applies to them, as an interim step, all per-policy blkg data will be shot down. * blk-throtl doesn't need this change as it can't be disabled for a live queue; however, update it anyway as the scheduled blkg unification requires this behavior change. This means that blk-throtl configuration will be unnecessarily lost over elevator switch. This oddity will be removed after blkcg learns to associate individual policies with request_queues. * blk-throtl dosen't shoot down root_tg. This is to ease transition. Unified blkg will always have persistent root group and not shooting down root_tg for now eases transition to that point by avoiding having to update td->root_tg and is safe as blk-throtl can never be disabled -v2: Vivek pointed out that group list is not guaranteed to be empty on return from clear function if it raced cgroup removal and lost. Fix it by waiting a bit and retrying. This kludge will soon be removed once locking is updated such that blkg is never in limbo state between blkcg and request_queue locks. blk-throtl no longer shoots down root_tg to avoid breaking td->root_tg. Also, Nest queue_lock inside blkio_list_lock not the other way around to avoid introduce possible deadlock via blkcg lock. -v3: blkcg_clear_queue() repositioned and renamed to blkg_destroy_all() to increase consistency with later changes. cfq_clear_queue() updated to check q->elevator before dereferencing it to avoid NULL dereference on not fully initialized queues (used by later change).
