cfq: fix IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE delays

After the fresh boot:

ionice -c3 -p $$
echo cfq >> /sys/block/XXX/queue/scheduler
dd if=/dev/XXX of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1

Now dd hangs in D state and the queue is completely stalled for approximately
INITIAL_JIFFIES + CFQ_IDLE_GRACE jiffies. This is because cfq_init_queue()
forgets to initialize cfq_data->last_end_request.

(I guess this patch is not complete, overflow is still possible)
