From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx>

The problem was found in iocost orignally([1]) that ioc can be freed in
ioc_pd_free(). And later we found that there are more problem in
iocost([2]).

After some discussion, as suggested by Tejun([3]), we decide to fix the
problem that parent pd can be freed before child pd in cgroup layer
first. And the problem in [1] will be fixed later if this patchset is
applied.

blk-cgroup: support to track if policy is online
blk-cgroup: synchronize pd_free_fn() from blkg_free_workfn() and
blkcg_deactivate_policy()
