From: Han Guangjiang <hanguangjiang@xxxxxxxxxxx>
On repeated cold boots we occasionally hit a NULL pointer crash in
blk_should_throtl() when throttling is consulted before the throttle
policy is fully enabled for the queue. Checking only q->td != NULL is
insufficient during early initialization, so blkg_to_pd() for the
throttle policy can still return NULL and blkg_to_tg() becomes NULL,
which later gets dereferenced.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

Tighten blk_throtl_activated() to also require that the throttle policy
bit is set on the queue:
return q->td != NULL &&
test_bit(blkcg_policy_throtl.plid, q->blkcg_pols);
This prevents blk_should_throtl() from accessing throttle group state
until policy data has been attached to blkgs.
