    cfq-iosched: fix async oom queue handling · 95e5d6f6

    Async cfqq's (cfq_queue's) are shared across cfq_data.  When
    cfq_get_queue() obtains a new queue from cfq_find_alloc_queue(), it
    stashes the pointer in cfq_data and reuses it from then on; however,
    the function doesn't consider that cfq_find_alloc_queue() may return
    the oom_cfqq under memory pressure and installs the returned queue
    unconditionally.
    
    If the oom_cfqq is installed as an async cfqq, cfq_set_request() will
    continue calling cfq_get_queue() hoping to replace it with a proper
    queue; however, cfq_get_queue() will keep returning the cached queue
    for the slot - the oom_cfqq.
    
    Fix it by skipping caching if the queue is the oom one.
