Subject: [PATCH 5.1 366/371] blk-iolatency: clear use_delay when io.latency is set to zero

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

commit 5de0073fcd50cc1f150895a7bb04d3cf8067b1d7 upstream.

If use_delay was non-zero when the latency target of a cgroup was set
to zero, it will stay stuck until io.latency is enabled on the cgroup
again.  This keeps readahead disabled for the cgroup impacting
performance negatively.
