Subject: [PATCH 5.17 053/225] iocost: dont reset the inuse weight of under-weighted debtors

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

commit 8c936f9ea11ec4e35e288810a7503b5c841a355f upstream.

When an iocg is in debt, its inuse weight is owned by debt handling and
should stay at 1. This invariant was broken when determining the amount of
surpluses at the beginning of donation calculation - when an iocg's
hierarchical weight is too low, the iocg is excluded from donation
calculation and its inuse is reset to its active regardless of its
indebtedness, triggering warnings like the following:

 WARNING: CPU: 5 PID: 0 at block/blk-iocost.c:1416 iocg_kick_waitq+0x392/0x3a0
 ...
 RIP: 0010:iocg_kick_waitq+0x392/0x3a0
 Code: 00 00 be ff ff ff ff 48 89 4d a8 e8 98 b2 70 00 48 8b 4d a8 85 c0 0f 85 4a fe ff ff 0f 0b e9 43 fe ff ff 0f 0b e9 4d fe ff ff <0f> 0b e9 50 fe ff ff e8 a2 ae 70 00 66 90 0f 1f 44 00 00 55 48 89

  <IRQ>
  ioc_timer_fn+0x2e0/0x1470
  call_timer_fn+0xa1/0x2c0
 ...

As this happens only when an iocg's hierarchical weight is negligible, its
impact likely is limited to triggering the warnings. Fix it by skipping
resetting inuse of under-weighted debtors.
