Kernel hang when poweroff or reboot, due to infinite restart in function blkg_destroy_all. It will goto restart label when a batch of blkgs are destroyed, but not remove blkg node in blkg_list. So the blkg_list is same in every 'restart' and result in kernel hang. By adding list_del to remove blkg node after destroying, can solve this kernel hang issue and satisfy the previous will to 'restart'.
