blk-iocost: revamp debt handling
Debt handling had several issues.
* How much inuse a debtor carries wasn't clearly defined. inuse would be
driven down over time from not issuing IOs but it'd be better to clamp it
to minimum immediately once in debt.
* How much can be paid off was determined by hweight_inuse. As inuse was
driven down, the payment amount would fall together regardless of the
debtor's active weight. This means that the debtors were punished harshly.
* ioc_rqos_merge() wasn't calling blkcg_schedule_throttle() after
iocg_kick_delay().
This patch revamps debt handling so that
* Debt handling owns inuse for iocgs in debt and keeps them at zero.
* Payment amount is determined by hweight_active. This is more deterministic
and safer than hweight_inuse but still far from ideal in that it doesn't
factor in possible donations from other iocgs for debt payments. This
likely needs further improvements in the future.
* iocg_rqos_merge() now calls blkcg_schedule_throttle() as necessary.
