[PATCH BUGFIX RESEND 3/4] block, bfq: fix service being wrongly set to zero in case of preemption

From: Paolo Valente
Date: Mon Jun 25 2018 - 15:56:26 EST


If
- a bfq_queue Q preempts another queue, because one request of Q
arrives in time,
- but, after this preemption, Q is not the queue that is set in service,
then Q->entity.service is set to 0 when Q is eventually set in
service. But Q should have continued receiving service with its old
budget (which is why preemption has occurred) and its old service.

This commit addresses this issue by resetting service on queue real
expiration.
