[PATCH] cfq-iosched: correctly set ioprio on both targets

Patch originally from Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@sw.ru>

If you set io-priority of process 1 using sys_ioprio_set system call by
another process 2 (like ionice do), then cfq_init_prio_data() function
sets priority of process 2 (current) on queue of process 1 and clears
the flag, that designates change of ioprio.  So the process  1 will work
like with priority of process 2.

I propose not to call cfq_init_prio_data() on io-priority change, but
only mark queue as queue with changed prority.  Every time when new
request comes cfq-scheduler checks for this flag and atomaticaly changes
priority of queue to new value.
