cfq-iosched: Fix regression in bonnie++ rewrite performance Commit 9a7f38c42c2 (cfq-iosched: Convert from jiffies to nanoseconds) broke the condition for detecting starved sync IO in cfq_completed_request() because rq->start_time remained in jiffies but we compared it with nanosecond values. This manifested as a regression in bonnie++ rewrite performance because we always ended up considering sync IO starved and thus never increased async IO queue depth. Since rq->start_time is used in a lot of places, converting it to ns values would be non-trivial. So just revert the condition in CFQ to use comparison with jiffies. This will lead to suboptimal results if cfq_fifo_expire[1] will ever come close to 1 jiffie but so far we are relatively far from that with the storage used with CFQ (the default value is 128 ms).
