blk-throttle: process limit change only through one function

With the help of cgroup interface one can go and upate the bps/iops
limits of existing group. Once the limits are udpated, a thread is
woken up to see if some blocked group needs recalculation based on new
limits and needs to be requeued.

There was also a piece of code where I was checking for group limit
update when a fresh bio comes in. This patch gets rid of that piece of
code and keeps processing the limit change at one place
throtl_process_limit_change().  It just keeps the code simple and easy
to understand.
