Hi,
during some bandwidth tests, I found some occasional but severe
malfunctions (losses of bandwidth control). The first three patches in
this series fix the bugs that caused these malfunctions. The last
patch is a fix/improvement of the name of one of the functions
involved with these bugs.

I guess these patches are appropriate for next kernel release.

Ran these overnight on 2 machines on top of recent BFQ and nothing
caught on fire. One funny benchmark result stood out since it gave
me (repeatedly!) 560 MB/s read bandwidth on an SSD which is rated to
do "up to 550MB/s", so I guess BFQ's bandwidth guarantees are now
really quite strong. :-)

Therefore:
