cfq-iosched: don't delay async queue if it hasn't dispatched at all
We cannot delay for the first dispatch of the async queue if it hasn't dispatched at all, since that could present a local user DoS attack vector using an app that just did slow timed sync reads while filling memory. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
