Hi Kamezawa-san,

The original thought to implement this function is for sharing a bio-cgroup
with other subsystems, such as dm-ioband. If the bio-cgroup is already mounted,
and used by dm-ioband or others, we just need to create a association between
io-throttle and bio-cgroup by echo a bio-cgroup id, just like what dm-ioband does.
