Currently 'active_queues' is cleared when there is no more IO in 5 secondes. Thus if multiple hardware queues share a tag set, and some queues occasionally issue small amount of IO, some queues might can't get enough tags while the utilization rate of total tags is less than 100% because 'active_queues' is never decreased. Thus clear 'active_queues' immediately when 'nr_active' is decreased to 0.
