[RFC v2 4/5] mm/swapfile: refcount block and queue before using blkcg_schedule_throttle()

[Luis Chamberlain]

block device are refcounted so to ensure once its final user goes away it
can be cleaned up by the lower layers properly. The block device's
request_queue structure is also refcounted, however if the last
blk_put_queue() is called under atomic context the block layer has
to defer removal.

By refcounting the block device during the use of blkcg_schedule_throttle(),
we ensure ensure two things:

1) the block device remains available during the call
2) we ensure avoid having to deal with the fact we're using the
   request_queue structure in atomic context, since the last
   blk_put_queue() will be called upon disk_release(), *after*
   our own bdput().

This means this code path is *not* going to remove the request_queue
structure, as we are ensuring some later upper layer disk_release()
will be the one to release the request_queue structure for us.
