[ Upstream commit6b06546206] This reverts commit4c6994806f. Destroying blkgs is tricky because of the nature of the relationship. A blkg should go away when either a blkcg or a request_queue goes away. However, blkg's pin the blkcg to ensure they remain valid. To break this cycle, when a blkcg is offlined, blkgs put back their css ref. This eventually lets css_free() get called which frees the blkcg. The above commit (4c6994806f) breaks this order of events by trying to destroy blkgs in css_free(). As the blkgs still hold references to the blkcg, css_free() is never called. The race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir() will be addressed in the following patch by delaying destruction of a blkg until all writeback associated with the blkcg has been finished.
