After commit 991f61fe7e1d ("Blk-throttle: reduce tail io latency when iops
limit is enforced") wait time could be zero even if group is throttled and
cannot issue requests right now. As a result throtl_select_dispatch() turns
into busy-loop under irq-safe queue spinlock.

Fix is simple: always round up target time to the next throttle slice.
