blkio: Wait on sync-noidle queue even if rq_noidle = 1
o rq_noidle() is supposed to tell cfq that do not expect a request after this one, hence don't idle. But this does not seem to work very well. For example for direct random readers, rq_noidle = 1 but there is next request coming after this. Not idling, leads to a group not getting its share even if group_isolation=1. o The right solution for this issue is to scan the higher layers and set right flag (WRITE_SYNC or WRITE_ODIRECT). For the time being, this single line fix helps. This should not have any significant impact when we are not using cgroups. I will later figure out IO paths in higher layer and fix it.
