Subject: blkcg: don't call into policy draining if root_blkg is already gone

commit 0b462c89e31f7eb6789713437eb551833ee16ff3 upstream.

While a queue is being destroyed, all the blkgs are destroyed and its
->root_blkg pointer is set to NULL.  If someone else starts to drain
while the queue is in this state, the following oops happens.

776687bce42b ("block, blk-mq: draining can't be skipped even if
bypass_depth was non-zero") made it easier to trigger this bug by
making blk_queue_bypass_start() drain even when it loses the first
bypass test to blk_cleanup_queue(); however, the bug has always been
there even before the commit as blk_queue_bypass_start() could race
against queue destruction, win the initial bypass test but perform the
actual draining after blk_cleanup_queue() already destroyed all blkgs.

Fix it by skippping calling into policy draining if all the blkgs are
already gone.
