Yeah, idk about this. So, now if you're in a cgroup with IO restriction, you
can create a sub-cgroup shove all the IOs in there and then kill the cgroup
and escape control and do so repeatedly.

The refcnting is rather complicated in blkcg world because it gets pulled
from several different directions but the problem you're trying to address
likely should be addressed through refcnting.

Thanks.
