block, bfq: remove blkg_path()

After commit 35fe6d7632 ("block: use standard blktrace API to output
cgroup info for debug notes"), the field 'bfqg->blkg_path' is not used
and hence can be removed, and therefor blkg_path() is not used anymore
and can be removed.

* Update blkg_path for bfq_log_* functions. We cache this
* path, and update it here, for the following
* reasons. Operations on blkg objects in blk-cgroup are
* protected with the request_queue lock, and not with the
* lock that protects the instances of this scheduler
* (bfqd->lock). This exposes BFQ to the following sort of
* race.
*
* The blkg_lookup performed in bfq_get_queue, protected
* through rcu, may happen to return the address of a copy of
* the original blkg. If this is the case, then the
* bfqg_and_blkg_get performed in bfq_get_queue, to pin down
* the blkg, is useless: it does not prevent blk-cgroup code
* from destroying both the original blkg and all objects
* directly or indirectly referred by the copy of the
* blkg.
*
* On the bright side, destroy operations on a blkg invoke, as
* a first step, hooks of the scheduler associated with the
* blkg. And these hooks are executed with bfqd->lock held for
* BFQ. As a consequence, for any blkg associated with the
* request queue this instance of the scheduler is attached
* to, we are guaranteed that such a blkg is not destroyed, and
* that all the pointers it contains are consistent, while we
* are holding bfqd->lock. A blkg_lookup performed with
* bfqd->lock held then returns a fully consistent blkg, which
* remains consistent until this lock is held.
*
* Thanks to the last fact, and to the fact that: (1) bfqg has
* been obtained through a blkg_lookup in the above
* assignment, and (2) bfqd->lock is being held, here we can
* safely use the policy data for the involved blkg (i.e., the
* field bfqg->pd) to get to the blkg associated with bfqg,
* and then we can safely use any field of blkg. After we
* release bfqd->lock, even just getting blkg through this
* bfqg may cause dangling references to be traversed, as
* bfqg->pd may not exist any more.
*
* In view of the above facts, here we cache, in the bfqg, any
* blkg data we may need for this bic, and for its associated
* bfq_queue. As of now, we need to cache only the path of the
* blkg, which is used in the bfq_log_* functions.
*
* Finally, note that bfqg itself needs to be protected from
* destruction on the blkg_free of the original blkg (which
* invokes bfq_pd_free). We use an additional private
* refcounter for bfqg, to let it disappear only after no
* bfq_queue refers to it any longer.
