mm/page_io: don't nest queue_lock under rcu in bio_associate_blkg_from_page()

Take a css reference under RCU, drop RCU, and then associate the bio with
the blkg. This avoids nesting queue_lock under RCU and prepares to protect
blkcg with blkcg_mutex instead of queue_lock.

Use css_tryget() instead of css_tryget_online() so swap writeback for
pages charged to a dying memcg still passes the dying css to
bio_associate_blkg_from_css(). That preserves the existing closest-live
ancestor fallback instead of charging those bios to the root blkg.
