[BLOCK] cfq-iosched: seek and async performance fixes
Detect whether a given process is seeky and if so disable (mostly) the
idle window if it is. We still allow just a little idle time, just enough
to allow that process to submit a new request. That is needed to maintain
fairness across priority groups.
In some cases, we could setup several async queues. This is not optimal
from a performance POV, since we want all async io in one queue to perform
good sorting on it. It also impacted sync queues, as async io got too much
slice time.
