[PATCH] blk-throttle: only update last_low_overflow_time when LIMIT_MAX

[Jianchao Wang]

Currently, last_low_overflow_time will be updated whenever bios
are throttled and queued. This is true when LIMIT_MAX, but not
for LIMIT_LOW. what last_low_overflow_time indicates is dispatching
not submitting. When LIMIT_LOW, the dispatch bps/iops should never
be above the low limit, we should not update last_low_overflow_time
at the moment. Otherwise, it will be hard to upgrade limit_index
when there is always bios to be submitted.
