blk-throttle: fix possible io stall when upgrade to max

There is a case which will lead to io stall. The case is described as
follows.
/test1
  |-subtest1
/test2
  |-subtest2
And subtest1 and subtest2 each has 32 queued bios already.

Now upgrade to max. In throtl_upgrade_state, it will try to dispatch
bios as follows:
1) tg=subtest1, do nothing;
2) tg=test1, transfer 32 queued bios from subtest1 to test1; no pending
left, no need to schedule next dispatch;
3) tg=subtest2, do nothing;
4) tg=test2, transfer 32 queued bios from subtest2 to test2; no pending
left, no need to schedule next dispatch;
5) tg=/, transfer 8 queued bios from test1 to /, 8 queued bios from
test2 to /, 8 queued bios from test1 to /, and 8 queued bios from test2
to /; note that test1 and test2 each still has 16 queued bios left;
6) tg=/, try to schedule next dispatch, but since disptime is now
(update in tg_update_disptime, wait=0), pending timer is not scheduled
in fact;
7) In throtl_upgrade_state it totally dispatches 32 queued bios and with
32 left. test1 and test2 each has 16 queued bios;
8) throtl_pending_timer_fn sees the left over bios, but could do
nothing, because throtl_select_dispatch returns 0, and test1/test2 has
no pending tg.

The blktrace shows the following:
8,32   0        0     2.539007641     0  m   N throtl upgrade to max
8,32   0        0     2.539072267     0  m   N throtl /test2 dispatch nr_queued=16 read=0 write=16
8,32   7        0     2.539077142     0  m   N throtl /test1 dispatch nr_queued=16 read=0 write=16

So force schedule dispatch if there are pending children.
