blkcg: allocate struct blkcg_gq outside request queue spinlock

Browse Source 
blkg_conf_prep() currently calls blkg_lookup_create() while holding
request queue spinlock. This means allocating memory for struct
blkcg_gq has to be made non-blocking. This causes occasional -ENOMEM
failures in call paths like below:

  pcpu_alloc+0x68f/0x710
  __alloc_percpu_gfp+0xd/0x10
  __percpu_counter_init+0x55/0xc0
  cfq_pd_alloc+0x3b2/0x4e0
  blkg_alloc+0x187/0x230
  blkg_create+0x489/0x670
  blkg_lookup_create+0x9a/0x230
  blkg_conf_prep+0x1fb/0x240
  __cfqg_set_weight_device.isra.105+0x5c/0x180
  cfq_set_weight_on_dfl+0x69/0xc0
  cgroup_file_write+0x39/0x1c0
  kernfs_fop_write+0x13f/0x1d0
  __vfs_write+0x23/0x120
  vfs_write+0xc2/0x1f0
  SyS_write+0x44/0xb0
  entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x18/0xad

In the code path above, percpu allocator cannot call vmalloc() due to
queue spinlock.

A failure in this call path gives grief to tools which are trying to
configure io weights. We see occasional failures happen shortly after
reboots even when system is not under any memory pressure. Machines
with a lot of cpus are more vulnerable to this condition.

Update blkg_create() function to temporarily drop the rcu and queue
locks when it is allowed by gfp mask.
