when the timer expires. But in the current process, if bio is throttled.
The BIO_THROTTLED will be set to bio after timer start. If the bio
has been completed, it may cause use-after-free.

Fix this by move BIO_THROTTLED set before timer set.

Have you tried reproducing and confirming the above in any way?

Because it seems wrong in two ways:

* This function is called synchronously on the issue path. The bio isn't
seen by the queue and device driver yet and nothing can race to issue it
before this function returns.


The bio is under throttle here, this submit_bio return directly. And
current process will queue a dispatch work by throtl_schedule_pending_timer() to submit this bio before BIO_THROTTLED flag set. If the bio is completed quickly after the dispatch work is queued, UAF of bio will happen.

* Now we're not setting BIO_THROTTLED when we're taking a different return
path through the out_unlock label and risks calling back into blk_throtl
again on the same bio.


In my opinion, This flag can prevent the request from being throttled multiple times. If the request itself does not need to be throttled, the result of repeated entry will be the same.
If necessary, I think we can use other methods to achieve this effect for request does not need to be throttled.
In general, if you think you spotted an issue, please try to trigger it in
however way possible to confirm that the issue is real.

Thanks.
