block: blkg_destroy_all() should clear q->root_blkg and ->root_rl.blkg

While making the root blkg unconditional, ec13b1d6 ("blkcg: always
create the blkcg_gq for the root blkcg") removed the part which clears
q->root_blkg and ->root_rl.blkg during q exit.  This leaves the two
pointers dangling after blkg_destroy_all().  blk-throttle exit path
performs blkg traversals and dereferences ->root_blkg and can lead to
the following oops.

While the bug is a straigh-forward use-after-free bug, it is tricky to
reproduce because blkg release is RCU protected and the rest of exit
path usually finishes before RCU grace period.

This patch fixes the bug by updating blkg_destro_all() to clear
q->root_blkg and ->root_rl.blkg.
