Good point. I think keeping the signle queue around with-in child group is
getting complicated.
For the time being I will continue to expire the single ioq of child group
even if other competing queues are not present. (Bring back the check of
efqd->root_group->ioq).
Once rest of the things stablize, we can revisit this optimzation later
that don't expire the single queue in child groups also.
Thanks
