block, bfq: remove wrong check in bfq_requests_merged

Browse Source 
The request rq passed to the function bfq_requests_merged is always in
a bfq_queue, so the check !RB_EMPTY_NODE(&rq->rb_node) at the
beginning of bfq_requests_merged always succeeds, and the control
flow systematically skips to the end of the function.  This implies
that the body of the function is never executed, i.e., the
repositioning of rq is never performed.

On the opposite end, a control is missing in the body of the function:
'next' must be removed only if it is inside a bfq_queue.

This commit removes the wrong check on rq, and adds the missing check
on 'next'. In addition, this commit adds comments on
bfq_requests_merged.

* This function is called to notify the scheduler that the requests

* exploits this hook to address the following issue: if 'next' has a
* fifo_time lower that rq, then the fifo_time of rq must be set to
* the value of 'next', to not forget the greater age of 'next'.
* Moreover 'next' may be in a bfq_queue, in this case it must be
* removed.

* NOTE: in this function we assume that rq is in a bfq_queue, basing
* on that rq is picked from the hash table q->elevator->hash, which,
* in its turn, is filled only with I/O requests present in
* bfq_queues, while BFQ is in use for the request queue q. In fact,
* the function that fills this hash table (elv_rqhash_add) is called
* only by bfq_insert_request.
