Hi, Paolo

I was thinking that if CONFIG_BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is enabled, there is no
need to caculate smallest_weight, varied_queue_weights, and
multiple_classes_busy:

If we count root group into num_groups_with_pending_reqs
  - If num_groups_with_pending_reqs <= 1, idle is not needed
  - If num_groups_with_pending_reqs  > 1, idle is needed

Thus such changes can save some additional overhead.

Thanks
Yu Kuai
