Subject: [PATCH v3 11/14] bfq: disable idle for prio_expire under better_fairness

From: Chunguang Xu <brookxu@...cent.com>

Under better_fairness, if higher priority queue is waiting
for service，disable queue idle, so that a schedule can be
invoked in time. In addition to CLASS_IDLE, other queues
allow idle, so that we can better control buffer IO too.
