Subject: [PATCH] add rb_next in block throttle

When selecting group for dispatching, the first entry of the service
tree is sequentially dequeued, then the first entry is recomputed by
calling rb_first().

When the first is removed from service tree, new first could also be
computed with rb_next(), since it could be faster than rb_first in
this special environment.
