So now groups don't reclaimed until either cgroup is deleted or queue
exits. So if BLK_DEV_THROTTLE=n and cfq is switched out, blkg created
by CFQ policy will not be reclaimed (despite the fact nobody is using
them).

This is not necessarily bad, just thought of clarifying that it is the
design intent.

Thanks
