Before commit 3b8cc6298724 ("blk-cgroup: Optimize blkcg_rstat_flush()"),
blkg's stats is only flushed if they are online. In addition, the
stat flushing of blkgs in blkcg_rstat_flush() includes propagating
the rstat data to its parent. However, if a blkg has been destroyed
(offline), the validity of its parent may be questionable. For safety,
revert back to the old behavior by ignoring offline blkg's.
