    blk-throttle: remove asynchrnous percpu stats allocation mechanism · 4fb72036

    Because percpu allocator couldn't do non-blocking allocations,
    blk-throttle was forced to implement an ad-hoc asynchronous allocation
    mechanism for its percpu stats for cases where blkg's (blkcg_gq's) are
    allocated from an IO path without sleepable context.
    
    Now that percpu allocator can handle gfp_mask and blkg_policy_data
    alloc / free are handled by policy methods, the ad-hoc asynchronous
    allocation mechanism can be replaced with direct allocation from
    tg_stats_alloc_fn().  Rit it out.
    
    This ensures that an active throtl_grp always has valid non-NULL
    ->stats_cpu.  Remove checks on it.
