Commit 3bc5e683c67d ("bfq: Split shared queues on move between cgroups")
changes that move process to a new cgroup will allocate a new bfqq to
use, however, the old bfqq and new bfqq can point to the same bic:
1) Initial state, two process with io in the same cgroup.
Process 1       Process 2
 (BIC1)          (BIC2)
  |  Λ            |  Λ
  |  |            |  |
  V  |            V  |
  bfqq1           bfqq2
2) bfqq1 is merged to bfqq2.
Process 1       Process 2
 (BIC1)          (BIC2)
  |               |
   \-------------\|
                  V
  bfqq1           bfqq2(coop)
3) Process 1 exit, then issue new io(denoce IOA) from Process 2.
 (BIC2)
  |  Λ
  |  |
  V  |
  bfqq2(coop)
4) Before IOA is completed, move Process 2 to another cgroup and issue io.
Process 2
 (BIC2)
   Λ
   |\--------------\
   |                V
  bfqq2           bfqq3
Now that BIC2 points to bfqq3, while bfqq2 and bfqq3 both point to BIC2.
If all the requests are completed, and Process 2 exit, BIC2 will be
freed while there is no guarantee that bfqq2 will be freed before BIC2.
Fix the problem by clearing bfqq->bic while bfqq is detached from bic.
