[RFC PATCH v1 17/17] blk-cgroup: share blkg creation between lookup and config prep

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai at fygo.io>

blkg_conf_prep() open-codes the same parent walk and blkg creation that
blkg_lookup_create() already performs. Make blkg_lookup_create() report
whether the target blkg was created or found while still returning the
closest existing blkg on failure, then have blkg_conf_prep() use the
helper and treat errors as config failures.

This keeps the bio association path's closest-blkg fallback and removes
the duplicate config path loop.
