Subject: [PATCH v2 01/10] block, bfq: correctly raise inject limit in bfq_choose_bfqq_for_injection

Function bfq_choose_bfqq_for_injection may temporarily raise inject limit
to one request if current inject_limit is 0 before search of the source
queue for injection. However the search below will reset inject limit to
bfqd->in_service_queue which is zero for raised inject limit. Then the
temporarily raised inject limit never works as expected.
Assigment limit to bfqd->in_service_queue in search is needed as limit
maybe overwriten to min_t(unsigned int, 1, limit) for condition that
a large in-flight request is on non-rotational devices in found queue.
So we need to reset limit to bfqd->in_service_queue for normal case.

Actually, we have already make sure bfqd->rq_in_driver is < limit before
search, then
 -Limit is >= 1 as bfqd->rq_in_driver is >= 0. Then min_t(unsigned int,
1, limit) is always 1. So we can simply check bfqd->rq_in_driver with
1 instead of result of min_t(unsigned int, 1, limit) for larget request in
non-rotational device case to avoid overwritting limit and the bug is gone.
 -For normal case, we have already check bfqd->rq_in_driver is < limit,
so we can return found bfqq unconditionally to remove unncessary check.
