Subject: [PATCH 17/20] blkio: Wait for queue to get backlogged before it expires
o CFQ expires a cfqq if it has consumed its time slice. Expiry also means that
queue gets deleted from service tree. For the sequential IO, most of the time
a new IO comes almost immediately and cfqq gets backlogged again.
o This additiona dequeuing creates issues. dequeuing means that associated
group will also be removed from service tree and we select a new queue and
new group for dispatch and vdisktime jump takes place and group looses its
fair share.
o One solution is to wait for queue to get busy if it is empty at the time
of expiry and cfq plans to idle on the queue (it expects new request to come
with-in 8ms).
