o Currently we try to dispatch more READS and less WRITES (75%, 25%) in one
dispatch round. ummy pointed out that there is a bug in max_nr_writes
calculation. This patch fixes it.

o User can specify max iops value of 32bit (UINT_MAX), through cgroup
interface. If a user has specified say 4294967294 (UNIT_MAX - 2), then
on 32bit platform, following multiplication can overflow.
io_allowed = (tg->iops[rw] * jiffy_elapsed_rnd)
o Explicitly cast the multiplication to 64bit and then perform division and
then check whether result is still great then UNINT_MAX.

o Do not convert jiffies to mili seconds as it is not required. Just work
with jiffies and HZ.

o Randy Dunlap reported following linux-next failure. This patch fixes it.
on i386:
blk-throttle.c:(.text+0x1abb8): undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
blk-throttle.c:(.text+0x1b1dc): undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
o bytes_per_second interface is 64bit and I was continuing to do 64 bit
division even on 32bit platform without help of special macros/functions
hence the failure.

o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and
the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group.
o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling.
Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount
a disk can wait for a very long time.
o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if
user increases the read limit later.
o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate
the bio dispatch time according to new limits.
o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake
up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some
variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to
make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of
memory barrier code especially will help.

o Currently all the dynamically allocated groups, except root grp is added
to td->tg_list. This was not a problem so far but in next patch I will
travel through td->tg_list to process any updates of limits on the group.
If root group is not in tg_list, then root group's updates are not
processed.
o It is better to root group also to tg_list instead of doing special
processing for it during limit updates.

o Actual implementation of throttling policy in block layer. Currently it
implements READ and WRITE bytes per second throttling logic. IOPS throttling
comes in later patches.
