cfq-iosched: fix corner cases in idling logic
Idling logic was disabled in some corner cases, leading to unfair share
for noidle queues.
* the idle timer was not armed if there were other requests in the
driver. unfortunately, those requests could come from other workloads,
or queues for which we don't enable idling. So we will check only
pending requests from the active queue
* rq_noidle check on no-idle queue could disable the end of tree idle if
the last completed request was rq_noidle. Now, we will disable that
idle only if all the queues served in the no-idle tree had rq_noidle
requests.
