[PATCH] CFQ: request <-> request merging rr_list fixup

In very rare circumstances would we be pruning a merged request and at
the same time delete the implicated cfqq from the rr_list, and not readd
it when the merged request got added. This could cause io stalls until
that process issued io again.

Fix it up by putting the rr_list add handling into cfq_add_rq_rb(),
identical to how pruning is handled in cfq_del_rq_rb(). This fixes a
hang reproducible with fsx-linux.
