blk-throttle: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW

Browse Source 
One the one hand, it's marked EXPERIMENTAL since 2017, and looks like
there are no users since then, and no testers and no developers, it's
just not active at all.

On the other hand, even if the config is disabled, there are still many
fields in throtl_grp and throtl_data and many functions that are only
used for throtl low.

At last, currently blk-throtl is initialized during disk initialization,
and destroyed during disk removal, and it exposes many functions to be
called directly from block layer.

Remove throtl low to make code much more cleaner and follow up work much
easier.

Description:
[RW] This is the time window that blk-throttle samples data, in
millisecond. blk-throttle makes decision based on the
samplings. Lower time means cgroups have more smooth throughput,
but higher CPU overhead. This exists only when
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW is enabled.
