blk-throttle: fix throtl_data leak during disk release
Tightening the throttle activation check in blk_throtl_activated() to require both q->td presence and policy bit set introduced a memory leak during disk release: blkg_destroy_all() clears the policy bit first during queue deactivation, causing subsequent blk_throtl_exit() to skip throtl_data cleanup when blk_throtl_activated() fails policy check. Idealy we should avoid modifying blk_throtl_exit() activation check because it's intuitive that blk-throtl start from blk_throtl_init() and end in blk_throtl_exit(). However, call blk_throtl_exit() before blkg_destroy_all() will make a long term deadlock problem easier to trigger[1], hence fix this problem by checking if q->td is NULL from blk_throtl_exit(), and remove policy deactivation as well since it's useless.
