If new configuration is submitted while a bio is throttled, then new
waiting time is recalculated regardless that the bio might already wait
for some time:

tg_conf_updated
 throtl_start_new_slice
  tg_update_disptime
  throtl_schedule_next_dispatch

Then io hung can be triggered by always submmiting new configuration
before the throttled bio is dispatched.

Fix the problem by respecting the time that throttled bio already waited.
In order to do that, add new fields to record how many bytes/io are
waited, and use it to calculate wait time for throttled bio under new
configuration.

Some simple test:
1)
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
echo "8:0 2048" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
{
        sleep 2
        echo "8:0 1024" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
} &
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=8k count=1 oflag=direct

2)
cd /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
echo "8:0 1024" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
{
        sleep 4
        echo "8:0 2048" > blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
} &
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=8k count=1 oflag=direct

test results: io finish time
