blkcg: move rcu_read_lock() outside of blkio_group get functions
rcu_read_lock() in throtl_get_tb() and cfq_get_cfqg() holds onto
@blkcg while looking up blkg. For API cleanup, the next patch will
make the caller responsible for determining @blkcg to look blkg from
and let them specify it as a parameter. Move rcu read locking out to
the callers to prepare for the change.
-v2: Originally this patch was described as a fix for RCU read locking
bug around @blkg, which Vivek pointed out to be incorrect. It
was from misunderstanding the role of rcu locking as protecting
@blkg not @blkcg. Patch description updated.
