commit 9f5ede3c01f9 ("block: throttle split bio in case of iops limit")
introduce a new problem, for example:

[root@localhost ~]# echo "8:0 1024" > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
[root@localhost ~]# echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/cgroup.procs

[root@localhost ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=10k count=1 oflag=direct &
[2] 626
[root@localhost ~]# 1+0 records in
1+0 records out
10240 bytes (10 kB, 10 KiB) copied, 10.0038 s, 1.0 kB/s1+0 records in
1+0 records out

10240 bytes (10 kB, 10 KiB) copied, 9.23076 s, 1.1 kB/s
-> the second bio is issued after 10s instead of 20s.

This is because if some bios are already queued, current bio is queued
directly and the flag 'BIO_THROTTLED' is set. And later, when former
bios are dispatched, this bio will be dispatched without waiting at all,
this is due to tg_with_in_bps_limit() will return 0 if the flag is set.

Instead of setting the flag when bio starts throttle, delay to when
throttle is done to fix the problem.

This way may double account bio size for re-entered split bio.
Hi, Ming

Yes, you are right, I forgot that...

Marking BIO_THROTTLED before throtle_charge_bio() causes the bio
bytes not be charged.
Yes, thanks for spotting this.

Another simple way is to compensate for previous extra bytes accounting,
something like the following patch:

If new slice is not started, then this should fix the problem.
From what I can see, other than tg_conf_updated, new silce can start if
there are still bio throttled:

tg_may_dispatch
if (!(tg->service_queue.nr_queued[rw]))
throtl_start_new_slice

Thus I think the change is ok. For the case in tg_conf_updated, I'll
remove the throtl_start_new_slice() to fix a hung problem. I'll add this
patch with this one in next version.

Thanks,
Kuai
