Revert "blk-throttle: fix race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir()"
[ Upstream commit 6b06546206868f723f2061d703a3c3c378dcbf4c ] This reverts commit 4c6994806f708559c2812b73501406e21ae5dcd0. Destroying blkgs is tricky because of the nature of the relationship. A blkg should go away when either a blkcg or a request_queue goes away. However, blkg's pin the blkcg to ensure they remain valid. To break this cycle, when a blkcg is offlined, blkgs put back their css ref. This eventually lets css_free() get called which frees the blkcg. The above commit (4c6994806f70) breaks this order of events by trying to destroy blkgs in css_free(). As the blkgs still hold references to the blkcg, css_free() is never called. The race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir() will be addressed in the following patch by delaying destruction of a blkg until all writeback associated with the blkcg has been finished.
