No ranges reported means no extra actuators, so a single actuator an
single LBA range for the entire device. In that case, bfq should process
all IOs using bfqd->ia_ranges[0]. The get range function will always
return that range. That makes the code clean and avoids different path for
nr_ranges == 1 and nr_ranges > 1. No ?
