blkcg: Restructure blkg_conf_prep() and friends



We want to support lazy init of rq-qos policies so that iolatency is enabled
lazily on configuration instead of gendisk initialization. The way blkg
config helpers are structured now is a bit awkward for that. Let's
restructure:

* blkcg_conf_open_bdev() is renamed to blkg_conf_open_bdev(). The blkcg_
  prefix was used because the bdev opening step is blkg-independent.
  However, the distinction is too subtle and confuses more than helps. Let's
  switch to blkg prefix so that it's consistent with the type and other
  helper names.

* struct blkg_conf_ctx now remembers the original input string and is always
  initialized by the new blkg_conf_init().

* blkg_conf_open_bdev() is updated to take a pointer to blkg_conf_ctx like
  blkg_conf_prep() and can be called multiple times safely. Instead of
  modifying the double pointer to input string directly,
  blkg_conf_open_bdev() now sets blkg_conf_ctx->body.

* blkg_conf_finish() is renamed to blkg_conf_exit() for symmetry and now
  must be called on all blkg_conf_ctx's which were initialized with
  blkg_conf_init().

Combined, this allows the users to either open the bdev first or do it
altogether with blkg_conf_prep() which will help implementing lazy init of
rq-qos policies.

blkg_conf_init/exit() will also be used implement synchronization against
device removal. This is necessary because iolat / iocost are configured
through cgroupfs instead of one of the files under /sys/block/DEVICE. As
cgroupfs operations aren't synchronized with block layer, the lazy init and
other configuration operations may race against device removal. This patch
makes blkg_conf_init/exit() used consistently for all cgroup-orginating
configurations making them a good place to implement explicit
synchronization.

Users are updated accordingly. No behavior change is intended by this patch.

v2: bfq wasn't updated in v1 causing a build error. Fixed.

v3: Update the description to include future use of blkg_conf_init/exit() as
    synchronization points.
