Vivek Goyal 450adcbe51 blk-throttle: Do not use kblockd workqueue for throtl work
o Dominik Klein reported a system hang issue while doing some blkio
  throttling testing.

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/24/173

o Some tracing revealed that CFQ was not dispatching any more jobs as
  queue unplug was not happening. And queue unplug was not happening
  because unplug work was not being called as there was one throttling
  work on same cpu which as not finished yet. And throttling work had not
  finished as it was tyring to dispatch a bio to CFQ but all the request
  descriptors were consume to it was put to sleep.

o So basically it is a cyclic dependecny between CFQ unplug work and
  throtl dispatch work. Tejun suggested that use separate workqueue for
  such cases.

o This patch uses a separate workqueue for throttle related work and
  does not rely on kblockd workqueue anymore.
