blk-throttle: fix null pointer dereference while throttling writeback IOs
A null pointer dereference can occur when blkcg is removed manually
with writeback IOs inflight. This is caused by the following case:
Writeback kworker submit the bio and set bio->bi_cg_private to tg
in blk_throtl_assoc_bio.
Then we remove the block cgroup manually, the blkg and tg would be
freed if there is no request inflight.
When the submitted bio come back, blk_throtl_bio_endio() fetch the tg
which was already freed.
Fix this by increasing the refcount of blkg in funcion
blk_throtl_assoc_bio() so that the blkg will not be freed until the
bio_endio called.
