From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3a10f999ffd464d01c5a05592a15470a3c4bbc36 upstream. After commit 991f61fe7e1d ("Blk-throttle: reduce tail io latency when iops limit is enforced") wait time could be zero even if group is throttled and cannot issue requests right now. As a result throtl_select_dispatch() turns into busy-loop under irq-safe queue spinlock. Fix is simple: always round up target time to the next throttle slice.
