block, bfq: port of a series of fix commits to 5.4 and 5.5

Hi,
Fedora requested the following fix commits, currently available in
5.6-rc4, to be ported to 5.4 and 5.5 [1]:
db37a34c563b block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree
4d8340d0d4d9 block, bfq: remove ifdefs from around gets/puts of bfq groups
33a16a980468 block, bfq: extend incomplete name of field on_st
ecedd3d7e199 block, bfq: get extra ref to prevent a queue from being freed during a group move
32c59e3a9a5a block, bfq: do not insert oom queue into position tree
f718b093277d block, bfq: do not plug I/O for bfq_queues with no proc refs

No change is needed for these commits to apply cleanly in 5.4 and 5.5.

Fedora asked for this porting because it will allow them to include
these commits in their kernels, and solve the crash that led me to the
making of the commits themselves [1].

This is the first time I submit something for stable branches, I hope
I did everything right (I'm following option 2 in [2]).

Thanks,
Paolo
