blkcg: don't allow or retain configuration of missing devices
blkcg is very peculiar in that it allows setting and remembering configurations for non-existent devices by maintaining separate data structures for configuration. This behavior is completely out of the usual norms and outright confusing; furthermore, it uses dev_t number to match the configuration to devices, which is unpredictable to begin with and becomes completely unuseable if EXT_DEVT is fully used. It is wholely unnecessary - we already have fully functional userland mechanism to program devices being hotplugged which has full access to device identification, connection topology and filesystem information. Add a new struct blkio_group_conf which contains all blkcg configurations to blkio_group and let blkio_group, which can be created iff the associated device exists and is removed when the associated device goes away, carry all configurations. Note that, after this patch, all newly created blkg's will always have the default configuration (unlimited for throttling and blkcg's weight for propio). This patch makes blkio_policy_node meaningless but doesn't remove it. The next patch will. -v2: Updated to retry after short sleep if blkg lookup/creation failed due to the queue being temporarily bypassed as indicated by -EBUSY return. Pointed out by Vivek.
