Lina reported that if throttle limits are initially very high and then
dropped, then no new bio might be dispatched for a long time. And the
reason being that after dropping the limits we don't reset the existing
slice and do the rate calculation with new low rate and account the bios
dispatched at high rate. To fix it, reset the slice upon rate change.

Another problem with very high limit is that we never queued the
bio on throtl service tree. That means we kept on extending the
group slice but never trimmed it. Fix that also by regulary
trimming the slice even if bio is not being queued up.
