cfq-iosched: temporarily boost queue priority for idle classes

If we're queuing REQ_PRIO IO and the task is running at an idle IO
class, then temporarily boost the priority. This prevents livelocks
due to priority inversion, when a low priority task is holding file
system resources while attempting to do IO.

An example of that is shown below. An ioniced idle task is holding
the directory mutex, while a normal priority task is trying to do
a directory lookup.
