blkcg: relocate root_blkg setting and clearing

Hello, Jens.

The original thread can be read from

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8937

While it leads to oops, given that it only triggers under specific
configurations which aren't common.  I don't think it's necessary to
backport it through -stable and merging it during the coming merge
window should be enough.

Thanks!

Currently, q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg are set from
blkcg_activate_policy() and cleared from blkg_destroy_all().  This
doesn't necessarily coincide with the lifetime of the root blkcg_gq
leading to the following oops when blkcg is enabled but no policy is
activated because __blk_queue_next_rl() malfunctions expecting the
root_blkg pointers to be set.

Fix it by moving r->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg setting to
blkg_create() and clearing to blkg_destroy() so that they area
initialized when a root blkg is created and cleared when destroyed.
