Tejun Heo 9d179b8654 blkcg: Fix multiple bugs in blkcg_activate_policy()
blkcg_activate_policy() has the following bugs.

* cf09a8ee19 ("blkcg: pass @q and @blkcg into
  blkcg_pol_alloc_pd_fn()") added @blkcg to ->pd_alloc_fn(); however,
  blkcg_activate_policy() ends up using pd's allocated for the root
  blkcg for all preallocations, so ->pd_init_fn() for non-root blkcgs
  can be passed in pd's which are allocated for the root blkcg.

  For blk-iocost, this means that ->pd_init_fn() can write beyond the
  end of the allocated object as it determines the length of the flex
  array at the end based on the blkcg's nesting level.

* Each pd is initialized as they get allocated.  If alloc fails, the
  policy will get freed with pd's initialized on it.

* After the above partial failure, the partial pds are not freed.

This patch fixes all the above issues by

* Restructuring blkcg_activate_policy() so that alloc and init passes
  are separate.  Init takes place only after all allocs succeeded and
  on failure all allocated pds are freed.

* Unifying and fixing the cleanup of the remaining pd_prealloc.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
