blk-throttle: fix NULL pointer dereference in throtl_schedule_pending…

I have encountered a NULL pointer dereference in
throtl_schedule_pending_timer:
  [  413.735396] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000038
  [  413.735535] IP: [<ffffffff812ebbbf>] throtl_schedule_pending_timer+0x3f/0x210
  [  413.735643] PGD 22c8cf067 PUD 22cb34067 PMD 0
  [  413.735713] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP
  ......

This is caused by the following case:
  blk_throtl_bio
    throtl_schedule_next_dispatch  <= sq is top level one without parent
      throtl_schedule_pending_timer
        sq_to_tg(sq)->td->throtl_slice  <= sq_to_tg(sq) returns NULL

Fix it by using sq_to_td instead of sq_to_tg(sq)->td, which will always
return a valid td.
