Subject: [PATCH] block, bfq: fix null pointer dereference in bfq_bio_bfqg()

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

Out test found a following problem in kernel 5.10, and the same problem
should exist in mainline:

Root cause is quite complex:

1) use bfq elevator for the test device.
2) create a cgroup CG
3) config blk throtl in CG

   blkg_conf_prep
    blkg_create

4) create a thread T1 and issue async io in CG:

   bio_init
    bio_associate_blkg
   ...
   submit_bio
    submit_bio_noacct
     blk_throtl_bio -> io is throttled
     // io submit is done

5) switch elevator:

   bfq_exit_queue
    blkcg_deactivate_policy
     list_for_each_entry(blkg, &q->blkg_list, q_node)
      blkg->pd[] = NULL
      // bfq policy is removed

5) thread t1 exist, then remove the cgroup CG:

   blkcg_unpin_online
    blkcg_destroy_blkgs
     blkg_destroy
      list_del_init(&blkg->q_node)
      // blkg is removed from queue list

6) switch elevator back to bfq

 bfq_init_queue
  bfq_create_group_hierarchy
   blkcg_activate_policy
    list_for_each_entry_reverse(blkg, &q->blkg_list)
     // blkg is removed from list, hence bfq policy is still NULL

7) throttled io is dispatched to bfq:

 bfq_insert_requests
  bfq_init_rq
   bfq_bic_update_cgroup
    bfq_bio_bfqg
     bfqg = blkg_to_bfqg(blkg)
     // bfqg is NULL because bfq policy is NULL

The problem is only possible in bfq because only bfq can be deactivated and
activated while queue is online, while others can only be deactivated while
the device is removed.

Fix the problem in bfq by checking if blkg is online before calling
blkg_to_bfqg().
