block, bfq: make shared queues inherit wakers
Consider a bfq_queue bfqq that is about to be merged with another bfq_queue new_bfqq. The processes associated with bfqq are cooperators of the processes associated with new_bfqq. So, if bfqq has a waker, then it is reasonable (and beneficial for throughput) to assume that all these processes will be happy to let bfqq's waker freely inject I/O when they have no I/O. So this commit makes new_bfqq inherit bfqq's waker.
