[RFC PATCH v1 12/17] dm: avoid sleeping blkg association from NOWAIT remaps

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai at fygo.io>

DM allocates normal NOWAIT target clones with GFP_NOWAIT.  Targets that set
needs_bio_set_dev can therefore make alloc_tio() associate blkcg state from a
non-blocking allocation path, which may sleep while creating a missing blkg
after blkg lookup is protected by q->blkcg_mutex.

Set the default bdev without blkcg association first, then associate blkcg
with nowait=true for non-blocking allocations.  If a blkg would need creating,
fail the NOWAIT allocation with BLK_STS_AGAIN.

Targets that advertise DM_TARGET_NOWAIT may also remap bios in their map
functions.  Those remaps update only the bdev for NOWAIT bios, then
DM submission clones the original bio's blkg association with nowait=true
before lower submission.  If that would need to sleep, complete the clone with
BLK_STS_AGAIN.
