cfq-iosched: reset oom_cfqq in cfq_set_request()
In case memory is scarce, we now default to oom_cfqq. Once memory is
available again, we should allocate a new cfqq and stop using oom_cfqq for
a particular io context.
Once a new request comes in, check if we are using oom_cfqq, and if yes,
try to allocate a new cfqq.
Tested the patch by forcing the use of oom_cfqq and upon next request thread
realized that it was using oom_cfqq and it allocated a new cfqq.
