blk-cgroup: Allow sleeping while dynamically allocating a group
Currently, all the cfq_group or throtl_group allocations happen while
we are holding ->queue_lock and sleeping is not allowed.
Soon, we will move to per cpu stats and also need to allocate the
per group stats. As one can not call alloc_percpu() from atomic
context as it can sleep, we need to drop ->queue_lock, allocate the
group, retake the lock and continue processing.
In throttling code, I check the queue DEAD flag again to make sure
that driver did not call blk_cleanup_queue() in the mean time.
