Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Don't update group weights when on service tree.

With some instrumentation, we can observe that the total_weight for a 
service tree can be badly adjusted; particularly when the weight for a 
group is adjusted without taking it off of the tree. This can be 
reproduced on the HEAD of the linux-2.6-block tree.

We have seen this problem in workloads when total_weight becomes 0 and 
we divide by 0 in cfq_group_slice(), crashing the kernel, but it's
easier to illustrate by adding a BUG_ON and making it signed, like this:

                cfq_rb_erase(&cfqg->rb_node, st);
        cfqg->saved_workload_slice = 0;

The "fuzzcon" tool adjusts the weight for a task in a manner that 
triggers this bug:

Here's the BUG_ON output when the case is encountered:
