Commit 59b57717fff8 ("blkcg: delay blkg destruction until after
writeback has finished") delayed call to blkcg_destroy_blkgs() to
cgwb_release_workfn(). However, it is done after a css_put() of blkcg
which may be the final put that causes the blkcg to be freed as RCU
read lock isn't held.

Another place where blkcg_destroy_blkgs() can be called indirectly via
blkcg_unpin_online() is from the offline_css() function called from
css_killed_work_fn(). Over there, the potentially final css_put() call
is issued after offline_css().

By adding a css_tryget() into blkcg_destroy_blkgs() and warning its
failure, the following stack trace was produced in a test system on
bootup.
This doesn't agree with the code anymore. Otherwise

Sorry, I overlooked the commit log in my update. I will update it if I need another version, or Jens can make the following edit:

css_tryget() -> percpu_ref_is_zero().

Thanks,
Longman
