It's possible the cgroup is sleeping because of throttle and other cgroups don't dispatch IO any more. In this case, nobody can trigger current downgrade/upgrade logic. To fix this issue, we could either set up a timer to wakeup the cgroup if other cgroups are idle or make sure this cgroup doesn't sleep too long. Setting up a timer means we must change the timer very frequently. This patch chooses the latter. Making cgroup sleep time not too big wouldn't change cgroup bps/iops, but could make it wakeup more frequently, which isn't a big issue because throtl_slice * 8 is already quite big.
