67523c48aa cgroups: blkio subsystem as module
Modify the Block I/O cgroup subsystem to be able to be built as a module.
As the CFQ disk scheduler optionally depends on blk-cgroup, config options
in block/Kconfig, block/Kconfig.iosched, and block/blk-cgroup.h are
enhanced to support the new module dependency.

024f906616 cfq: Remove useless css reference get
There's no need to take css reference here, for the caller
has already called rcu_read_lock() to prevent cgroup from
being removed.

3e25206689 blkio: Implement dynamic io controlling policy registration
o One of the goals of block IO controller is that it should be able to
  support mulitple io control policies, some of which be operational at
  higher level in storage hierarchy.

o To begin with, we had one io controlling policy implemented by CFQ, and
  I hard coded the CFQ functions called by blkio. This created issues when
  CFQ is compiled as module.

o This patch implements a basic dynamic io controlling policy registration
  functionality in blkio. This is similar to elevator functionality where
  ioschedulers register the functions dynamically.

o Now in future, when more IO controlling policies are implemented, these
  can dynakically register with block IO controller.

9d6a986c0b blkio: Export some symbols from blkio as its user CFQ can be a module
o blkio controller is inside the kernel and cfq makes use of interfaces
  exported by blkio. CFQ can be a module too, hence export symbols used
  by CFQ.

220841906f blkio: Export disk time and sectors used by a group to user space
o Export disk time and sector used by a group to user space through cgroup
  interface.

o Also export a "dequeue" interface to cgroup which keeps track of how many
  a times a group was deleted from service tree. Helps in debugging.

b1c3576961 blkio: Take care of cgroup deletion and cfq group reference counting
o One can choose to change elevator or delete a cgroup. Implement group
  reference counting so that both elevator exit and cgroup deletion can
  take place gracefully.

31e4c28d95 blkio: Introduce blkio controller cgroup interface
o This is basic implementation of blkio controller cgroup interface. This is
  the common interface visible to user space and should be used by different
  IO control policies as we implement those.
