From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently issue io can grab queue_lock three times from bfq_bio_merge(),
bfq_limit_depth() and bfq_prepare_request(), the queue_lock is not
necessary if icq is already created because both queue and ioc can't be
freed before io issuing is done.

This set first add a lockless helper ioc_lookup_icq_rcu() and then
covert to use the new helper.

Noted this is also a prep set to support request batch dispatching[1].
