Subject: [PATCH -next] blk-throttle: enable io throttle for root in cgroup v2

RFC patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/9/9/1432

There is a proformance problem in our environment:

A host can provide a remote device to difierent client. If one client is
under high io pressure, other clients might be affected.

Limit the overall iops/bps(io.max) from the client can fix the problem,
however, config files do not exist in root cgroup currently, which makes
it impossible.

This patch enables io throttle for root cgroup:
 - enable "io.max" and "io.low" in root
 - don't skip root group in tg_iops_limit() and tg_bps_limit()
 - don't skip root group in tg_conf_updated()
