[PATCH] blkio: Release blkg infrastructure only after last policy is deactivated.

[shirishpargaonkar]

From: Shirish Pargaonkar <spargaonkar@xxxxxxxx>

Release blkg infrastructure only after last policy is deactivated
(i.e. let blkg_destroy_all() be called only from blkcg_deactivate_policy())

Otherwise, module can oops because root_blkg gets assigned NULL during
cleanup and we attempt draining the service queues via root_blkg afterwords.
