Luigi Rizzo 67c1af9d00 Correct a subtle bug in the 'gsched_rr' disk scheduler.
The algorithm is supposed to work as follows:
in order to prevent starvation, when a new client starts being served we
record the start time and reset the counter of bytes served.
We then switch to a new client after a certain amount of time or bytes,
even if the current one still has pending requests.
To avoid charging a new client the time of the first seek,
we start counting time when the first request is served.

Unfortunately a bug in the previous version of the code failed
to set the start time in certain cases, resulting in some processes
exceeding their timeslice.

The fix (in this patch) is trivial, though it took a while to find
out and replicate the bug.
Thanks to Tommaso Caprai for investigating and fixing the problem.

*
* A round-robin (RR) anticipatory scheduler, with per-client queues.
*
* The goal of this implementation is to improve throughput compared
* to the pure elevator algorithm, and insure some fairness among
* clients.
*
* Requests coming from the same client are put in the same queue.
* We use anticipation to help reducing seeks, and each queue
* is never served continuously for more than a given amount of
* time or data. Queues are then served in a round-robin fashion.
*
* Each queue can be in any of the following states:
* READY immediately serve the first pending request;
* BUSY one request is under service, wait for completion;
* IDLING do not serve incoming requests immediately, unless
* they are "eligible" as defined later.
*
* Scheduling is made looking at the status of all queues,
* and the first one in round-robin order is privileged.
