blk-cgroup: Pre-allocate tree node on blkg_conf_prep
Similarly to commit 457e490f2b741 ("blkcg: allocate struct blkcg_gq
outside request queue spinlock"), blkg_create can also trigger
occasional -ENOMEM failures at the radix insertion because any
allocation inside blkg_create has to be non-blocking, making it more
likely to fail. This causes trouble for userspace tools trying to
configure io weights who need to deal with this condition.
This patch reduces the occurrence of -ENOMEMs on this path by preloading
the radix tree element on a GFP_KERNEL context, such that we guarantee
the later non-blocking insertion won't fail.
A similar solution exists in blkcg_init_queue for the same situation.
