Jens Axboe 54b466e44b cfq-iosched: fix use-after-free of cfqq
With the changes in life time management between the cfq IO contexts
and the cfq queues, we now risk having cfqd->active_queue being
freed when cfq_slice_expired() is being called. cfq_preempt_queue()
caches this queue and uses it after calling said function, causing
a use-after-free condition. This triggers the following oops,
when cfqq_type() attempts to dereference it:

Get rid of the caching of cfqd->active_queue, and reorder the
check so that it happens before we expire the active queue.

Thanks to Tejun for pin pointing the error location.
