Subject: [PATCH] bfq: do try insert merge before bfq_init_rq() call

It's useless to do bfq_init_rq(rq), if the rq can do merge first.

In the patch 5f550ede5edf8, it moved to bfq_init_rq() before
blk_mq_sched_try_insert_merge(), but it's pointless,
as the fifo_time of next is not set yet,
and !list_empty(&next->queuelist) is 0, so it does not
need to reposition rq's fifo_time.

And for the "hash lookup, try again" situation, as follow,
bfq_requests_merged() call can work normally.

blk_mq_sched_try_insert_merge
  elv_attempt_insert_merge
    elv_rqhash_find
