Subject: [PATCH v2 02/10] blk-throttle: Fix that bps of child could exceed bps limited in parent

Consider situation as following (on the default hierarchy):
 HDD
  |
root (bps limit: 4k)
  |
child (bps limit :8k)
  |
fio bs=8k
Rate of fio is supposed to be 4k, but result is 8k. Reason is as
following:
Size of single IO from fio is larger than bytes allowed in one
throtl_slice in child, so IOs are always queued in child group first.
When queued IOs in child are dispatched to parent group, BIO_BPS_THROTTLED
is set and these IOs will not be limited by tg_within_bps_limit anymore.
Fix this by only set BIO_BPS_THROTTLED when the bio traversed the entire
tree.

There patch has no influence on situation which is not on the default
hierarchy as each group is a single root group without parent.
