Subject: [PATCH] blk-throttle: fix zero wait time for iops throttled group

After commit 991f61fe7e1d ("Blk-throttle: reduce tail io latency when iops
limit is enforced") wait time could be zero even if group is throttled and
cannot issue requests right now. As a result throtl_select_dispatch() turns
into busy-loop under irq-safe queue spinlock.

Fix is simple: always round up target time to the next throttle slice.

Did you use a tiny iops limit to run into this?

Yep. 25 iops

also kernel built with HZ=250, this might be related

To be clear: this almost instantly kills entire machine - other cpus stuck at sending ipi.

Applied, thanks. In the future, please break lines at 72 chars in
commit messages, I fixed it up.

Huh, oh well. Not a big deal for me, line breaking is easily automated.

Ok, but Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst and
scripts/checkpatch.pl recommends 75 chars per line.
