I have a general dislike for code like that, where you conditionally
drop locks. And this one seems even worse, since the knowledge of
whether the locks should/could be dropped or not is embedded in the gfp
flags.

This seems problematic, as blkcg_bio_issue_check() calls with the rcu
read lock held.
