there are -> there is

Actually, I would not add this extra comment on the last condition at all.

Why do you make these extensive changes, while you can leave all the
function unchanged and just modify the above condition to something
like

|| bfqd->num_groups_with_pending_reqs > 1
|| (bfqd->num_groups_with_pending_reqs && bfqd->num_queues_with_pending_reqs_in_root)

In addition, I still wonder whether you can simply add also the root
group to bfqd->num_groups_with_pending_reqs (when the root group is
active).  This would make the design much cleaner.

Thanks,
Paolo
