[PATCH 1/5] cfq-iosched: Do not idle if slice_idle=0

[Vivek Goyal]

o do not idle either on cfq queue or service tree if slice_idle=0. User does
  not want any queue or service tree idling. Currently even if slice_idle=0,
  we were waiting for request to finish before expiring the queue and that
  can lead to lower queue depths.
