Waiman Long dae590a6c9 blk-cgroup: Flush stats at blkgs destruction path
As noted by Michal, the blkg_iostat_set's in the lockless list
hold reference to blkg's to protect against their removal. Those
blkg's hold reference to blkcg. When a cgroup is being destroyed,
cgroup_rstat_flush() is only called at css_release_work_fn() which is
called when the blkcg reference count reaches 0. This circular dependency
will prevent blkcg from being freed until some other events cause
cgroup_rstat_flush() to be called to flush out the pending blkcg stats.

To prevent this delayed blkcg removal, add a new cgroup_rstat_css_flush()
function to flush stats for a given css and cpu and call it at the blkgs
destruction path, blkcg_destroy_blkgs(), whenever there are still some
pending stats to be flushed. This will ensure that blkcg reference
count can reach 0 ASAP.
