Yes, there's no point to flush stats for idle devices if there can be
many of them. Good idea.

Idea/just asking: would it make sense to generalize this into llist.c
(this is basically llist_del_first() + llist_del_all() with a sentinel)?
For the sake of reusability.

It's good hygiene to parenthesize the args.

When a blkg's cgroup is rmdir'd, what happens with the lhead list?
We have cgroup_rstat_exit() in css_free_rwork_fn() that ultimately flushes rstats.
init_and_link_css however adds reference form blkcg->css to cgroup->css.
The blkcg->css would be (transitively) pinned by the lhead list and
hence would prevent the final flush (when refs drop to zero). Seems like
a cyclic dependency.
Luckily, there's also per-subsys flushing in css_release which could be
moved after rmdir (offlining) but before last ref is gone:

Maybe bundle the lhead list maintenace with cgroup_rstat_updated() under
cgroup_subsys_on_dfl()? The stats can be read on v1 anyway.
