Have you tried reproducing and confirming the above in any way?

Because it seems wrong in two ways:

* This function is called synchronously on the issue path. The bio isn't
  seen by the queue and device driver yet and nothing can race to issue it
  before this function returns.

* Now we're not setting BIO_THROTTLED when we're taking a different return
  path through the out_unlock label and risks calling back into blk_throtl
  again on the same bio.

In general, if you think you spotted an issue, please try to trigger it in
however way possible to confirm that the issue is real.

Thanks.
