[PATCH 5.4 065/475] block: dont merge across cgroup boundaries if blkcg is enabled

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6b2b04590b51aa4cf395fcd185ce439cab5961dc upstream.

blk-iocost and iolatency are cgroup aware rq-qos policies but they didn't
disable merges across different cgroups. This obviously can lead to
accounting and control errors but more importantly to priority inversions -
e.g. an IO which belongs to a higher priority cgroup or IO class may end up
getting throttled incorrectly because it gets merged to an IO issued from a
low priority cgroup.

Fix it by adding blk_cgroup_mergeable() which is called from merge paths and
rejects cross-cgroup and cross-issue_as_root merges.
