[PATCH 07/31] blk-throttle: removed deferred config application mechanism

[Tejun Heo]

When bps or iops configuration changes, blk-throttle records the new
configuration and sets a flag indicating that the config has changed.
The flag is checked in the bio dispatch path and applied.  This
deferred config application was necessary due to limitations in blkcg
framework, which haven't existed for quite a while now.

This patch removes the deferred config application mechanism and
applies new configurations directly from tg_set_conf(), which is
simpler.
