The implementation of blkg_tryget_closest() wasn't super obvious and
became a point of suspicion when debugging [1]. So let's clean it up so
it's obviously not the problem.
Also add missing RCU read locking to bio_clone_blkg_association(), which
got exposed by adding the RCU read lock held check in
blkg_tryget_closest().

Between v3 [1] and v4 [2] of the blkg association series, the
association point moved from generic_make_request_checks(), which is
called after the request enters the queue, to bio_set_dev(), which is when
the bio is formed before submit_bio(). When the request_queue goes away,
the blkgs supporting the request_queue are destroyed and then the
q->root_blkg is set to %NULL.
This patch adds a %NULL check to blkg_tryget_closest() to prevent the
NPE caused by the above. It also adds a guard to see if the
request_queue is dying when creating a blkg to prevent creating a blkg
for a dead request_queue.

The previous patch in this series removed carrying around a pointer to
the css in blkg. However, the blkg association logic still relied on
taking a reference on the css to ensure we wouldn't fail in getting a
reference for the blkg.
Here the implicit dependency on the css is removed. The association
continues to rely on the tryget logic walking up the blkg tree. This
streamlines the three ways that association can happen: normal, swap,
and writeback.

Previously, blkg association was handled by controller specific code in
blk-throttle and blk-iolatency. However, because a blkg represents a
relationship between a blkcg and a request_queue, it makes sense to keep
the blkg->q and bio->bi_disk->queue consistent.
This patch moves association into the bio_set_dev macro(). This should
cover the majority of cases where the device is set/changed keeping the
two pointers consistent. Fallback code is added to
blkcg_bio_issue_check() to catch any missing paths.

There are several scenarios where blkg_lookup_create() can fail such as
the blkcg dying, request_queue is dying, or simply being OOM. Most
handle this by simply falling back to the q->root_blkg and calling it a
day.
This patch implements the notion of closest blkg. During
blkg_lookup_create(), if it fails to create, return the closest blkg
found or the q->root_blkg. blkg_try_get_closest() is introduced and used
during association so a bio is always attached to a blkg.

To know when to create a blkg, the general pattern is to do a
blkg_lookup() and if that fails, lock and do the lookup again, and if
that fails finally create. It doesn't make much sense for everyone who
wants to do creation to write this themselves.
This changes blkg_lookup_create() to do locking and implement this
pattern. The old blkg_lookup_create() is renamed to
__blkg_lookup_create(). If a call site wants to do its own error
handling or already owns the queue lock, they can use
__blkg_lookup_create(). This will be used in upcoming patches.

The bio_blkcg() function turns out to be inconsistent and consequently
dangerous to use. The first part returns a blkcg where a reference is
owned by the bio meaning it does not need to be rcu protected. However,
the third case, the last line, is problematic:
return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id));
This can race against task migration and the cgroup dying. It is also
semantically different as it must be called rcu protected and is
susceptible to failure when trying to get a reference to it.
This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg() rather than
after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the
code paths for calling bio_blkcg(). In blk-iolatency, association is
moved above the bio_blkcg() call to ensure it will not return %NULL.
BFQ uses the old bio_blkcg() function, but I do not want to address it
in this series due to the complexity. I have created a private version
documenting the inconsistency and noting not to use it.

blk_get_rl is responsible for identifying which request_list a request
should be allocated to. Try get logic was added earlier, but
semantically the logic was not changed.
This patch makes better use of the bio already having a reference to the
blkg in the hot path. The cold path uses a better fallback of
blkg_lookup_create rather than just blkg_lookup and then falling back to
the q->root_rl. If lookup_create fails with anything but -ENODEV, it
falls back to q->root_rl.
A clarifying comment is added to explain why q->root_rl is used rather
than the root blkg's rl.
