[PATCH 01/12] blkcg: obtaining blkg should be enclosed inside rcu_read_lock()

[Tejun Heo]

When looking up or creating blkg's, both blk-throttle and cfq-iosched
drops rcu_read_lock() right after lookup is complete.  This isn't
safe.  Refcnt isn't incremented at that point and rcu lock is the only
thing holding the blkg.  It shouldn't be dropped until after refcnt is
incremented by the caller.

Update throtl_get_tg() and cfq_get_cfqg() such that they are called
and return under rcu_read_lock() and let their callers manage rcu
locking appropriately.
