blkcg: drop unnecessary RCU locking
Now that blkg additions / removals are always done under both q and
blkcg locks, the only places RCU locking is necessary are
blkg_lookup[_create]() for lookup w/o blkcg lock. This patch drops
unncessary RCU locking replacing it with plain blkcg locking as
necessary.
* blkiocg_pre_destroy() already perform proper locking and don't need
RCU. Dropped.
* blkio_read_blkg_stats() now uses blkcg->lock instead of RCU read
lock. This isn't a hot path.
* Now unnecessary synchronize_rcu() from queue exit paths removed.
This makes q->nr_blkgs unnecessary. Dropped.
* RCU annotation on blkg->q removed.
-v2: Vivek pointed out that blkg_lookup_create() still needs to be
called under rcu_read_lock(). Updated.
-v3: After the update, stats_lock locking in blkio_read_blkg_stats()
shouldn't be using _irq variant as it otherwise ends up enabling
irq while blkcg->lock is locked. Fixed.
