Subject: [PATCH block/for-next 3/4] cgroup, block: implement task_get_css()
 and use it in bio_associate_current()

bio_associate_current() currently open codes task_css() and
css_tryget_online() to find and pin $current's blkcg css.  Abstract it
into task_get_css() which is implemented from cgroup side.  As a task
is always associated with an online css for every subsystem except
while the css_set update is propagating, task_get_css() retries till
css_tryget_online() succeeds.

This is a cleanup and shouldn't lead to noticeable behavior changes.

Hello,

This one can be routed through either cgroup or block tree but I think
it'd be easier to route this through block as there will be more block
changes in the area.

Thanks.
