Subject: [PATCH 4.16 060/279] blkcg: init root blkcg_gq under lock

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiang Biao <jiang.biao2@....com.cn>

[ Upstream commit 901932a3f9b2b80352896be946c6d577c0a9652c ]

The initializing of q->root_blkg is currently outside of queue lock
and rcu, so the blkg may be destroied before the initializing, which
may cause dangling/null references. On the other side, the destroys
of blkg are protected by queue lock or rcu. Put the initializing
inside the queue lock and rcu to make it safer.
