[PATCH V2] blk-cgroup: prevent rcu_sched detected stalls warnings while iterating blkgs

[Yu Kuai]

We run a test that create millions of cgroups and blkgs, and then trigger
blkg_destroy_all(). blkg_destroy_all() will hold spin lock for a long
time in such situation. Thus release the lock when a batch of blkgs are
destroyed.

blkcg_activate_policy() and blkcg_deactivate_policy() might have the
same problem, however, as they are basically only called from module
init/exit paths, let's leave them alone for now.

changes in V2:
 - as suggested by Tejun, rename 'BLKG_DESTROY_BATCH_SIZE' and modify
 blkg_destroy_all() only.
