blk-cgroup: support to track if policy is online



A new field 'online' is added to blkg_policy_data to fix following
2 problem:

1) In blkcg_activate_policy(), if pd_alloc_fn() with 'GFP_NOWAIT'
   failed, 'queue_lock' will be dropped and pd_alloc_fn() will try again
   without 'GFP_NOWAIT'. In the meantime, remove cgroup can race with
   it, and pd_offline_fn() will be called without pd_init_fn() and
   pd_online_fn(). This way null-ptr-deference can be triggered.

2) In order to synchronize pd_free_fn() from blkg_free_workfn() and
   blkcg_deactivate_policy(), 'list_del_init(&blkg->q_node)' will be
   delayed to blkg_free_workfn(), hence pd_offline_fn() can be called
   first in blkg_destroy(), and then blkcg_deactivate_policy() will
   call it again, we must prevent it.

The new field 'online' will be set after pd_online_fn() and will be
cleared after pd_offline_fn(), in the meantime pd_offline_fn() will only
be called if 'online' is set.
