Bfqq activation will try to recover the "service hole" of bfqq which may issues requests greedily while remained idle for other reasons: CPU high load, bfqq not enjoying idling, I/O throttling somewhere in the path from the process to the I/O scheduler. So we should mark bfqq remained idle when expired for two reasons: BFQQE_NO_MORE_REQUESTS or BFQQE_TOO_IDLE. More details can be found in comment of bfq_bfqq_update_budg_for_activation. So we should mark bfqq remained idle expired for BFQQE_NO_MORE_REQUESTS or BFQQE_TOO_IDLE instead of (reason != BFQQE_BUDGET_TIMEOUT && reason != BFQQE_BUDGET_EXHAUSTED).
