Subject: [PATCH 08/14] block: bypass blkg_tryget_closest for the root_blkg

The root_blkg is only torn down at the very end of removing a queue.
So in the I/O submission path is always has a life reference and we
can just grab another one using blkg_get instead of doing a tryget
and parent walk that won't lead anywhere.
