So bfq_group and blkcg_gq will leak forever, see test-case below.

We should drop group reference once it finaly removed from service
inside __bfq_bfqd_reset_in_service, as we do with queue entities.

##TESTCASE_BEGIN:
#!/bin/bash

max_iters=${1:-100}
#prep cgroup mounts
mount -t tmpfs cgroup_root /sys/fs/cgroup
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio
mount -t cgroup -o blkio none /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio

# Prepare blkdev
grep blkio /proc/cgroups
truncate -s 1M img
losetup /dev/loop0 img
echo bfq > /sys/block/loop0/queue/scheduler

grep blkio /proc/cgroups
for ((i=0;i<max_iters;i++))
do
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/a
echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/a/cgroup.procs
dd if=/dev/loop0 bs=4k count=1 of=/dev/null iflag=direct 2> /dev/null
echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/cgroup.procs
rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/a
grep blkio /proc/cgroups
done
##TESTCASE_END:
