cfq-iosched: fix async oom queue handling
Async cfqq's (cfq_queue's) are shared across cfq_data. When
cfq_get_queue() obtains a new queue from cfq_find_alloc_queue(), it
stashes the pointer in cfq_data and reuses it from then on; however,
the function doesn't consider that cfq_find_alloc_queue() may return
the oom_cfqq under memory pressure and installs the returned queue
unconditionally.
If the oom_cfqq is installed as an async cfqq, cfq_set_request() will
continue calling cfq_get_queue() hoping to replace it with a proper
queue; however, cfq_get_queue() will keep returning the cached queue
for the slot - the oom_cfqq.
Fix it by skipping caching if the queue is the oom one.
