cfq-iosched: improve preemption for cooperating tasks

When testing the syslet async io approach, I discovered that CFQ
sometimes didn't perform as well as expected. cfq_should_preempt()
needs to better check for cooperating tasks, so fix that by allowing
preemption of an equal priority queue if the recently queued request
is as good a candidate for IO as the one we are currently waiting for.
