BFQ is already doing a similar thing in its .pd_offline_fn() method
implementation.
While it seems that after commit 4c6994806f70
("blk-throttle: fix race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir()")
was reverted leaving these pointers intact no longer causes crashes
clearing them is still a sensible thing to do to make the code more robust.

Changes from v1: Drop stable and fixes tags, rewrite the commit message
as after commit 4c6994806f70 was reverted this change is no longer
required to fix a crash.
