Have a question here. Looks like when bio climbs from child group
to parent group, then parent group slice starts fresh if parent
was empty. So if we have a parent with 1MB/s limit and a child with
1MB/s limit and a bio gets queued in child, then looks like effective
IO rate would be .5MB/s and not 1MB/s?

IOW, when child gets queued, we should start time accounting for
all parents in the hiearchy too.
