cfq-iosched: fix no-idle preemption logic

An incoming no-idle queue should preempt the active no-idle queue
 only if the active queue is idling due to service tree empty.
 Previous code was buggy in two ways:
 * it relied on service_tree field to be set on the active queue, while
   it is not set when the code is idling for a new request
 * it didn't check for the service tree empty condition, so could lead to
   LIFO behaviour if multiple queues with depth > 1 were preempting each
   other on an non-NCQ device.
