[PATCH 27/33] blk-throttle: make blk_throtl_bio() ready for hierarchy

Currently, blk_throtl_bio() issues the passed in bio directly if it's
within limits of its associated tg (throtl_grp).  This behavior
becomes incorrect with hierarchy support as the bio should be
accounted to and throttled by the ancestor throtl_grps too.

This patch makes the direct issue path of blk_throtl_bio() to loop
until it reaches the top-level service_queue or gets throttled.  If
the former, the bio can be issued directly; otherwise, it gets queued
at the first layer it was above limits.

As tg->parent_sq is always the top-level service queue currently, this
patch in itself doesn't make any behavior differences.
