Vivek Goyal fe0714377e blkio: Recalculate the throttled bio dispatch time upon throttle limit change
o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and
  the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group.

o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling.
  Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount
  a disk can wait for a very long time.

o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if
  user increases the read limit later.

o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate
  the bio dispatch time according to new limits.

o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake
  up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some
  variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to
  make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of
  memory barrier code especially will help.
