Vivek Goyal 1cd9e039fc blkcg: alloc per cpu stats from worker thread in a delayed manner
Current per cpu stat allocation assumes GFP_KERNEL allocation flag. But in
IO path there are times when we want GFP_NOIO semantics. As there is no
way to pass the allocation flags to alloc_percpu(), this patch delays the
allocation of stats using a worker thread.

v2-> tejun suggested following changes. Changed the patch accordingly.
	- move alloc_node location in structure
	- reduce the size of names of some of the fields
	- Reduce the scope of locking of alloc_list_lock
	- Simplified stat_alloc_fn() by allocating stats for all
	  policies in one go and then assigning these to a group.

v3 -> Andrew suggested to put some comments in the code. Also raised
      concerns about trying to allocate infinitely in case of allocation
      failure. I have changed the logic to sleep for 10ms before retrying.
      That should take care of non-preemptible UP kernels.

v4 -> Tejun had more suggestions.
	- drop list_for_each_entry_all()
	- instead of msleep() use queue_delayed_work()
	- Some cleanups realted to more compact coding.

v5-> tejun suggested more cleanups leading to more compact code.

tj: - Relocated pcpu_stats into blkio_stat_alloc_fn().
    - Minor comment update.
    - This also fixes suspicious RCU usage warning caused by invoking
      cgroup_path() from blkg_alloc() without holding RCU read lock.
      Now that blkg_alloc() doesn't require sleepable context, RCU
      read lock from blkg_lookup_create() is maintained throughout
      blkg_alloc().
