The filesystem is ext4(ordered). The meta data can be written out by
writeback, but if there are too many dirty pages, we had to do
checkpoint to write out the meta data in current thread context.

In this case, the blkg of thread1 has set io.max, so the j_checkpoint_mutex
can't be released and many threads must wait for it. However, the blkg from
buffer page didn' set any io policy. Therefore, for the meta buffer head,
we can associate the bio with blkg from the buffer page instead of current
thread context.

I think the right way to do it is marking the bio with REQ_META and
implement forced charging in blk-throtl similar to blk-iocost.

This is the exact thing I did in the code I attached in the other
thread, do you take a look?
