Seems there was one "other shoe" at least. For concurrent read vs
write, we're losing ~10% throughput that we weren't losing prior to that
last commit. I got it back, and the concurrent git throughput back as
well with the tweak below, _seemingly_ without significant sacrifice.
cfq-iosched: adjust async delay.
8e29675: "implement slower async initiate and queue ramp up" introduced a
throughput regression for concurrent reader vs writer. Adjusting async delay
to use cfq_slice_async, unless someone adjusts async to have more bandwidth
allocation than sync, restored throughput.
