Subject: [PATCH 03/11] blk-throttle: ignore cgroup without io queued in blk_throtl_cancel_bios

Ignore cgroup without io queued in blk_throtl_cancel_bios for two
reasons:
1. Save cpu cycle for trying to dispatch cgroup which is no io queued.
2. Avoid non-consistent state that cgroup is inserted to service queue
without THROTL_TG_PENDING set as tg_update_disptime will unconditional
re-insert cgroup to service queue. If we are on the default hierarchy,
IO dispatched from child in tg_dispatch_one_bio will trigger inserting
cgroup to service queue without erase first and ruin the tree.
