During code review, we found that if bfqq is not busy in bfq_bfqq_move(), bfq_pos_tree_add_move() won't be called for the bfqq, thus bfqq->pos_root still points to the old bfqg. However, the ref that bfqq hold for the old bfqg will be released, so it's possible that the old bfqg can be freed. This is problematic because the freed bfqg can still be accessed by bfqq->pos_root. Fix the problem by calling bfq_pos_tree_add_move() for idle bfqq as well.
