    block: add bi_blkg to the bio for cgroups · 08e18eab

    Currently io.low uses a bi_cg_private to stash its private data for the
    blkg, however other blkcg policies may want to use this as well.  Since
    we can get the private data out of the blkg, move this to bi_blkg in the
    bio and make it generic, then we can use bio_associate_blkg() to attach
    the blkg to the bio.
    
    Theoretically we could simply replace the bi_css with this since we can
    get to all the same information from the blkg, however you have to
    lookup the blkg, so for example wbc_init_bio() would have to lookup and
    possibly allocate the blkg for the css it was trying to attach to the
    bio.  This could be problematic and result in us either not attaching
    the css at all to the bio, or falling back to the root blkcg if we are
    unable to allocate the corresponding blkg.
    
    So for now do this, and in the future if possible we could just replace
    the bi_css with bi_blkg and update the helpers to do the correct
    translation.
