blk-throttle: Make no throttling rule group processing lockless
Currently we take a queue lock on each bio to check if there are any
throttling rules associated with the group and also update the stats.
Now access the group under rcu and update the stats without taking
the queue lock. Queue lock is taken only if there are throttling rules
associated with the group.
So the common case of root group when there are no rules, save
unnecessary pounding of request queue lock.
