Now that root group is counted into 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs', 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs > 0' is always true in bfq_asymmetric_scenario(). Thus change the condition to 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs > 1', so it's consistent without counting root group. On the other hand, with the following patches to only count groups(not ancestors) with pending requests, sync io can be handled concurrently if only one group has pending requests.
