Subject: [PATCH v3] block: flush all throttled bios when deleting the cgroup

From: Li Lingfeng <lilingfeng3@...wei.com>

When a process migrates to another cgroup and the original cgroup is deleted,
the restrictions of throttled bios cannot be removed. If the restrictions
are set too low, it will take a long time to complete these bios.

Refer to the process of deleting a disk to remove the restrictions and
issue bios when deleting the cgroup.

This makes difference on the behavior of throttled bios:
Before: the limit of the throttled bios can't be changed and the bios will
complete under this limit;
Now: the limit will be canceled and the throttled bios will be flushed
immediately.
