[PATCH] cfq-iosched: fix bug in timer handling for the idle class

There's a small window from when the timer is entered and we grab
the queue lock, where cfq_set_active_queue() could be rearming the
timer for us. Seen in the wild on a 12-way ppc box. Fix this by
just using mod_timer(), which will do the right thing for us.
