[PATCH][cfq-cgroups][Option 1] Introduce a think time valid entry.

[Satoshi UCHIDA]

  This patch introduces a think time valid entry.
 
  A think time is effective when queue is poor I/O requests
  because its queue is handled as idle class and then
  next queue can start to dispatch requests right after it.
  However, if there are many tasks, a value of think time is bigger.
  So, many queue are handled as idle class.
  Many queue will dispatch few requests(one request) and then
  expire slice.
  Namely, ioprio control for their queues is invalid.

  A think time valid entry is decide to check think time.
  The value 0 is always handled as idle class.
  The value 1 is handled as same as traditional CFQ.
  The value 2 make think time invalid.
