There is a very small change a bio gets caught up in a really
unfortunate race between a task migration, cgroup exiting, and itself
trying to associate with a blkg. This is due to css offlining being
performed after the css->refcnt is killed which triggers removal of
blkgs that reach their blkg->refcnt of 0.

To avoid this, association with a blkg should use tryget and fallback to
using the root_blkg.

Fixes: 08e18eab0c579 ("block: add bi_blkg to the bio for cgroups")
