CFQ: add think time check for group

Browse Source 
Currently when the last queue of a group has no request, we don't expire
the queue to hope request from the group comes soon, so the group 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.

[global]
runtime=30
direct=1

[test1]
cgroup=test1
cgroup_weight=1000
rw=randread
ioengine=libaio
size=500m
runtime=30
directory=/mnt
filename=file1
thinktime=9000

[test2]
cgroup=test2
cgroup_weight=1000
rw=randread
ioengine=libaio
size=500m
runtime=30
directory=/mnt
filename=file2

	patched		base
test1	64k		39k
test2	548k		540k
total	604k		578k

group1 gets much better throughput because it waits less time.

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 result is stable.
The thoughput doesn't change with/without the patch.
