cfq-iosched: fix a kernel OOPs when usb key is inserted
Mike reported a kernel crash when a usb key hotplug is performed while all
kernel thrads are not in a root cgroup and are running in one of the child
cgroups of blkio controller.

---[ end trace 9a88306573f69b12 ]---
The problem here is that we don't have bdi->dev information available when
thread does some IO. Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it
crashes.
This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root
group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't
hit this piece of code.
Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of
device in blk_group. Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device
information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes
in from same group.
