Subject: [PATCH] blk-throttle: fix repeat limit on bio with BIO_BPS_THROTTLED

Give a concrete example, a bio is throtted because of reaching bps
limit. It is then dispatched to request layer after a delay. In the
request layer, it is split and the split bio flagged with
BIO_BPS_THROTTLED will re-enter blkthrottle.
The bio with BIO_BPS_THROTTLED should not be throttled for its bytes
again. However, when the bps_limit and iops_limit are both set and
sq->queue is not empty, the bio will be throttled again even the tg is
still within iops limit.

Test scrips:
cgpath=/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/test0
mkdir -p $cgpath
echo "8:0 10485760" > $cgpath/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
echo "8:16 100000" > $cgpath/blkio.throttle.write_iops_device
for ((i=0;i<50;i++));do
  fio -rw=write -direct=1 -bs=4M -iodepth=8 -size=200M -numjobs=1 \
-time_based=1 -runtime=30  -name=testt_$i -filename=testf_$i > /dev/null &
  echo $! > $cgpath/tasks
done

The output of iostat:
Device:  ...  wMB/s  ...
sdb      ...  3.75  ...
sdb      ...  2.50  ...
sdb      ...  3.75  ...
sdb      ...  2.50  ...
sdb      ...  3.75  ...

In order to fix this problem, early throttled the bio only when
sq->queue is no empty and the bio is not flagged with BIO_BPS_THROTTLED.
