Commit 3bc5e683c67d ("bfq: Split shared queues on move between cgroups")
changes that move process to a new cgroup will allocate a new bfqq to
use, however, the old bfqq and new bfqq can point to the same bic:

1) Initial state, two process with io in the same cgroup.

Process 1       Process 2
 (BIC1)          (BIC2)
  |  Λ            |  Λ
  |  |            |  |
  V  |            V  |
  bfqq1           bfqq2

2) bfqq1 is merged to bfqq2.

Process 1       Process 2
 (BIC1)          (BIC2)
  |               |
   \-------------\|
                  V
  bfqq1           bfqq2(coop)

3) Process 1 exit, then issue new io(denoce IOA) from Process 2.

 (BIC2)
  |  Λ
  |  |
  V  |
  bfqq2(coop)

4) Before IOA is completed, move Process 2 to another cgroup and issue io.

Process 2
 (BIC2)
   Λ
   |\--------------\
   |                V
  bfqq2           bfqq3

Now that BIC2 points to bfqq3, while bfqq2 and bfqq3 both point to BIC2.
If all the requests are completed, and Process 2 exit, BIC2 will be
freed while there is no guarantee that bfqq2 will be freed before BIC2.

Fix the problem by clearing bfqq->bic while bfqq is detached from bic.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
