Subject: [PATCH v2] cfq-iosched: Don't clear queue stats when preempt.

For v2, I added back lines to cfq_preempt_queue() that were removed
during updates for accounting unaccounted_time. Thanks for pointing out
that I'd missed these, Vivek.

Previous commit "cfq-iosched: Don't set active queue in preempt" wrongly
cleared stats for preempting queues when it shouldn't have, because when
we choose a queue to preempt, it still isn't necessarily scheduled next.

Thanks to Vivek Goyal for figuring this out and understanding how the
preemption code works.
