This should fix both issues that Vivek pointed out:
* We can't set active queue at preempt time, because select queue
might select a different queue than the one we chose to preempt.
* Move the new variable to only be exported when debugging options are
on.
Commit "Add unaccounted time to timeslice_used" changed the behavior of
cfq_preempt_queue to set cfqq active. Vivek pointed out that other
preemption rules might get involved, so we shouldn't manually set which
queue is active.
This cleans up the code to just clear the queue stats at preemption
time.

Hi Justin,
Why do we have to clear queue stats here for the preempting queue?
Especially look at cfqq->dispatch_start = jiffies. We have not started
the dispatch yet. When this queue is selected next, then we will start
the dispatch.
So this patch has introduced another bug now. Now after preemption if
we don't select this group, then we have a queue with wrong dispatch
start and that will result in huge slice_used for the queue and
it will not get its fair share.
Thanks
Vivek

Hi Vivek,
Ugh, you're right. Sorry, I had some bad ideas in my head for how
preemption worked that clearly aren't true.
I think that if the stats aren't cleared here, everything should then
be fine because jiffies will then be picked up when the active queue
is set. Does that sound sane to you?
Thanks for explaining this problem.
Justin

Yes, that makes sense. Primarily you are looking for unaccounted seek time
(slice_start - dispatch_start) and dispatch_start will be set when the
preempting queue is selected for dispatch. So I don't think you have to
clear up anything in cfq_preempt_queue().
Thanks
