Subject[PATCH 1/2] blkcg: fix edge case for blk_get_rl() under memory pressure
Date
It is possible for blkg creation to fail when in blk_get_rl(). In this
situation, the fallback logic returns the nearest created blkg. There is
however special handling for the request_list for the root blkcg. This
fixes the missing edge case from the earlier series changing
blk_get_rl().

Fixes: e2b0989954ae ("blkcg: cleanup and make blk_get_rl use blkg_lookup_create")
