Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] cgroup:be able to remove the record of unplugged device

I'd be inclined to call that variable something like 'weight' rather
than 'temp', for clarity.

The change seems to fit the intent, AFAICS. But someone who has a
really good understanding of this file should review it.
blkiocg_file_write() in particular needs a bunch of comments to make
the logic more immediately clear, and to explain why it's OK to do
e.g. blkio_update_policy_rule() outside the lock.
