Some comments below.

Don't pass in the queue lock. The normal convention is to pass in the
queue, thus making this:

static void bfq_update_dispatch_stats(struct request_queue *q,
				      struct request *rq,
				      struct bfq_queue *in_serv_queue,
				      bool idle_timer_disabled)

which also gets rid of the inline. In general, never inline anything.
The compiler should figure it out for you. This function is way too big
to inline, plus the cost of what it's doing completely dwarfes function
call overhead.

Ditto here, kill the inlines.

In general though, good improvement.
