[PATCH V7 06/18] blk-throttle: add upgrade logic for LIMIT_LOW state

[Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com>]

When queue is in LIMIT_LOW state and all cgroups with low limit cross
the bps/iops limitation, we will upgrade queue's state to
LIMIT_MAX. To determine if a cgroup exceeds its limitation, we check if
the cgroup has pending request. Since cgroup is throttled according to
the limit, pending request means the cgroup reaches the limit.

If a cgroup has limit set for both read and write, we consider the
combination of them for upgrade. The reason is read IO and write IO can
interfere with each other. If we do the upgrade based in one direction
IO, the other direction IO could be severly harmed.

For a cgroup hierarchy, there are two cases. Children has lower low
limit than parent. Parent's low limit is meaningless. If children's
bps/iops cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state. The other case is
children has higher low limit than parent. Children's low limit is
meaningless. As long as parent's bps/iops (which is a sum of childrens
bps/iops) cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state.
