Thanks for review. The rest call of this function will always protect by
blkcg_policy_enabled while policy only can be enabled if new added NULL
check is passed. So the new added NULL check enough.

By the way, the policy enable/disable work is direct call to
__set_bit(pol->plid, q->blkcg_pols) in blkcg_policy_enabled
and __clear_bit(pol->plid, q->blkcg_pols) in blkcg_deactivate_policy
which is not intuitive. Is it a good idea to add function
blkcg_policy_enable and blkcg_policy_disable to improve readability?
