Subject[PATCH 2/4] cfq-iosched: fix no-idle preemption logic
Date
An incoming no-idle queue should preempt the active no-idle queue
only if the active queue is idling due to service tree empty.
Previous code was buggy in two ways:
* it relied on service_tree field to be set on the active queue, while
it is not set when the code is idling for a new request
* it didn't check for the service tree empty condition, so could lead to
LIFO behaviour if multiple queues with depth > 1 were preempting each
other on an non-NCQ device.
