blk-throttle: Trim/adjust slice_end once a bio has been dispatched

Browse Source 
o During some testing I did following and noticed throttling stops working.

        - Put a very low limit on a cgroup, say 1 byte per second.
        - Start some reads, this will set slice_end to a very high value.
        - Change the limit to higher value say 1MB/s
        - Now IO unthrottles and finishes as expected.
        - Try to do the read again but IO is not limited to 1MB/s as expected.

o What is happening.
        - Initially low value of limit sets slice_end to a very high value.
        - During updation of limit, slice_end is not being truncated.
        - Very high value of slice_end leads to keeping the existing slice
          valid for a very long time and new slice does not start.
        - tg_may_dispatch() is called in blk_throtle_bio(), and trim_slice()
          is not called in this path. So slice_start is some old value and
          practically we are able to do huge amount of IO.

o There are many ways it can be fixed. I have fixed it by trying to
  adjust/cleanup slice_end in trim_slice(). Generally we extend slices if bio
  is big and can't be dispatched in one slice. After dispatch of bio, readjust
  the slice_end to make sure we don't end up with huge values.
