Subject: [PATCH 2/3] blk-mq: clear 'active_queues' immediately when 'nr_active' is decreased to 0

Currently 'active_queues' is cleared when there is no more IO in 5
secondes. Thus if multiple hardware queues share a tag set, and
some queues occasionally issue small amount of IO, some queues might
can't get enough tags while the utilization rate of total tags is
less than 100% because 'active_queues' is never decreased.

Thus clear 'active_queues' immediately when 'nr_active' is
decreased to 0.
