blk-throttle: add throtl_qnode for dispatch fairness

Browse Source 
With flat hierarchy, there's only single level of dispatching
happening and fairness beyond that point is the responsibility of the
rest of the block layer and driver, which usually works out okay;
however, with the planned hierarchy support,
service_queue->bio_lists[] can be filled up by bios from a single
source.  While the limits would still be honored, it'd be very easy to
starve IOs from siblings or children.

To avoid such starvation, this patch implements throtl_qnode and
converts service_queue->bio_lists[] to lists of per-source qnodes
which in turn contains the bio's.  For example, when a bio is
dispatched from a child group, the bio doesn't get queued on
->bio_lists[] directly but it first gets queued on the group's qnode
which in turn gets queued on service_queue->queued[].  When
dispatching for the upper level, the ->queued[] list is consumed in
round-robing order so that the dispatch windows is consumed fairly by
all IO sources.

There are two ways a bio can come to a throtl_grp - directly queued to
the group or dispatched from a child.  For the former
throtl_grp->qnode_on_self[rw] is used.  For the latter, the child's
->qnode_on_parent[rw].

Note that this means that the child which is contributing a bio to its
parent should stay pinned until all its bios are dispatched to its
grand-parent.  This patch moves blkg refcnting from bio add/remove
spots to qnode activation/deactivation so that the blkg containing an
active qnode is always pinned.  As child pins the parent, this is
sufficient for keeping the relevant sub-tree pinned while bios are in
flight.

The starvation issue was spotted by Vivek Goyal.

v2: The original patch used the same throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent
    for reads and writes causing RWs to be queued incorrectly if there
    already are outstanding IOs in the other direction.  They should
    be throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent[2] so that READs and WRITEs
    can use different qnodes.  Spotted by Vivek Goyal.

/*
* To implement hierarchical throttling, throtl_grps form a tree and bios
* are dispatched upwards level by level until they reach the top and get
* issued. When dispatching bios from the children and local group at each
* level, if the bios are dispatched into a single bio_list, there's a risk
* of a local or child group which can queue many bios at once filling up
* the list starving others.
*
* To avoid such starvation, dispatched bios are queued separately
* according to where they came from. When they are again dispatched to
* the parent, they're popped in round-robin order so that no single source
* hogs the dispatch window.
*
* throtl_qnode is used to keep the queued bios separated by their sources.
* Bios are queued to throtl_qnode which in turn is queued to
* throtl_service_queue and then dispatched in round-robin order.
*
* It's also used to track the reference counts on blkg's. A qnode always
* belongs to a throtl_grp and gets queued on itself or the parent, so
* incrementing the reference of the associated throtl_grp when a qnode is
* queued and decrementing when dequeued is enough to keep the whole blkg
* tree pinned while bios are in flight.
