From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> The updating of 'bfqg->ref' should be protected by 'bfqd->lock', however, during code review, we found that bfq_pd_free() update 'bfqg->ref' without holding the lock, which is problematic: 1) bfq_pd_free() triggered by removing cgroup is called asynchronously; 2) bfqq will grab bfqg reference, and exit bfqq will drop the reference, which can concurrenty with 1). Unfortunately, 'bfqd->lock' can't be held here because 'bfqd' might already be freed in bfq_pd_free(). Fix the problem by using atomic refcount apis.
