cfq-iosched: fix RCU problem in cfq_cic_lookup()

cfq_cic_lookup() needs to properly protect ioc->ioc_data before
dereferencing it and also exclude updaters of ioc->ioc_data as well.

Also add a number of comments documenting why the existing RCU usage
is OK.

Thanks a lot to "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> for
review and comments!
