[PATCH 11/45] writeback, blkcg: propagate non-root blkcg congestion state

[Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>]

Now that bdi layer can handle per cgwb (cgroup bdi_writeback)
congestion state, blk_{set|clear}_congested() can propagate non-root
blkcg congestion state to them.

This can be easily achieved by disabling the root_rl tests in
blk_{set|clear}_congested().  Note that we still need those tests when
!CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK as otherwise we'll end up flipping root blkcg
wb's congestion state for events happening on other blkcgs.
