CFQ: add think time check for service tree
Currently when the last queue of a service tree has no request, we don't
expire the queue to hope request from the service tree comes soon, so the
service tree doesn't miss its share. But if the think time is big, the
assumption isn't correct and we just waste bandwidth. In such case, we
don't do idle.

test2 15868k/s 15789k/s
total 15902k/s 15817k/s
A slightly better
To check if the patch changes behavior of queue without think time. I also
tried to give test1 2ms think time or no think time. The test has variation
even without the patch, but the average throughput doesn't change with/without
the patch.
