Currently, last_low_overflow_time will be updated whenever bios are throttled and queued. This is true when LIMIT_MAX, but not for LIMIT_LOW. what last_low_overflow_time indicates is dispatching not submitting. When LIMIT_LOW, the dispatch bps/iops should never be above the low limit, we should not update last_low_overflow_time at the moment. Otherwise, it will be hard to upgrade limit_index when there is always bios to be submitted.
