Cache queue_congestion_on/off_threshold

[Chen, Kenneth W]

It's kind of redundant that queue_congestion_on/off_threshold gets
calculated on every I/O and they produce the same number over and
over again unless q->nr_requests gets changed (which is probably a
very rare event).  Can we cache those values in the request_queue
structure?
