    cfq-iosched: fix next_rq computation · cf7c25cf

    Cfq has a bug in computation of next_rq, that affects transition
    between multiple sequential request streams in a single queue
    (e.g.: two sequential buffered writers of the same priority),
    causing the alternation between the two streams for a transient period.

    The fix makes sure that the next_rq is computed from the last
    dispatched request, and not affected by merging.
