[PATCH] 02/05: update ioscheds to use generic dispatch queue

This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch
queue.  There's one behavior change in as-iosched.

* In as-iosched, when force dispatching
  (ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC
  and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero.  This
  prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after
  the forced dispatched requests are finished.

* In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the
  number of activated (removed) requests to determine
  whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been
  reached.  With generic dispatch queue, I think counting
  the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate.

* cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again.
