[PATCHSET block/for-4.3] blkcg: implement interface for the unified hierarchy

[Tejun Heo <tj-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

Hello,

blkcg interface grew to be the biggest of all controllers and
unfortunately most inconsistent too.  The interface files are
inconsistent with a number of cloes duplicates.  Some files have
recursive variants while others don't.  There's distinction between
normal and leaf weights which isn't intuitive and there are a lot of
stat knobs which don't make much sense outside of debugging and expose
too much implementation details to userland.

In the unified hierarchy, everything is always hierarchical and
internal nodes can't have tasks rendering the two structural issues
twisting the current interface.  The interface has to be updated in a
significant anyway and this is a good chance to revamp it as a whole.
This patchset implements blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy.

* blkcg is identified by "io" instead of "blkio" on the unified
  hierarchy.  Given that the whole interface is updated anyway, the
  rename shouldn't carry noticeable conversion overhead.

* The original interface consisted of 27 files is replaced with the
  following three files.

  blkio.stat	: per-blkcg stats
  blkio.weight	: per-cgroup and per-cgroup-queue weight settings
  blkio.max	: per-cgroup-queue bps and iops max limits

For more details, please refer to
Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt.
