Currently it will try to dispatch bio in throtl_upgrade_state. This may
lead to io stall in the following case.
Say the hierarchy is like:
/-test1
|-subtest1
and subtest1 has 32 queued bios now.
throtl_pending_timer_fn throtl_upgrade_state
------------------------------------------------------------------------
upgrade to max
throtl_select_dispatch
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch
throtl_select_dispatch
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch
Since throtl_select_dispatch will move queued bios from subtest1 to
test1 in throtl_upgrade_state, it will then just do nothing in
throtl_pending_timer_fn. As a result, queued bios won't be dispatched
any more if no proper timer scheduled.
Fix this issue by just scheduling dispatch now and let the dispatch be
done only in timer.
