cfq-iosched: Fix a gcc 4.5 warning and put some comments

- Andi encountedred following warning with gcc 4.5

  linux/block/cfq-iosched.c: In function ‘cfq_dispatch_requests’:
  linux/block/cfq-iosched.c:2156:3: warning: array subscript is above array
  bounds

- Warning happens due to following code.

  slice = group_slice * count /
		max_t(unsigned, cfqg->busy_queues_avg[cfqd->serving_prio],
		cfq_group_busy_queues_wl(cfqd->serving_prio, cfqd, cfqg));

  gcc is complaining about cfqg->busy_queues_avg[] being indexed by CFQ
  prio classes (RT, BE and IDLE) while the array size is only 2.

- At run time, we never access cfqg->busy_queues_avg[IDLE] and return from
  function before this code hits.

- To fix warning increase the array size though it will remain unused. This
  patch also puts some comments to clarify some of the confusions.

- I have taken Jens's patch and modified it a bit.

- Compile tested with gcc 4.4 and boot tested. I don't have gcc 4.5
  running, Andi can you please test it with gcc 4.5 to make sure it
  worked.
