Subject: [PATCH 02/17] block, bfq: try preemption if bfqq has higher weight and the same priority class

We will compare priority class and weight of current bfqq with
in_service_queue to check if bfqq could preempt in_service_queue.
Currently we will try to preempt in_service_queue if bfqq has higher
weight than in_service_queue even with lower priority class. Actually,
we will only serve bfqq with higher priority class (see
bfq_lookup_next_entity), so bfqq with higher weight and lower priority
class will not be a candidate to preempt in_service_queue.
Compare weight of bfqqs with the same priority in
bfq_bfqq_higher_class_or_weight to make preemption check more reasonable.
