blkcg: make sure blkg_lookup() returns %NULL if @q is bypassing
Currently, blkg_lookup() doesn't check @q bypass state. This patch updates blk_queue_bypass_start() to do synchronize_rcu() before returning and updates blkg_lookup() to check blk_queue_bypass() and return %NULL if bypassing. This ensures blkg_lookup() returns %NULL if @q is bypassing. This is to guarantee that nobody is accessing policy data while @q is bypassing, which is necessary to allow replacing blkio_cgroup->pd[] in place on policy [de]activation. v2: Added more comments explaining bypass guarantees as suggested by Vivek. v3: Added more comments explaining why there's no synchronize_rcu() in blk_cleanup_queue() as suggested by Vivek.
