Even if they are found to be co-operating.

The prio_trees do not have any IDLE cfqqs on them. cfq_close_cooperator()
is called from cfq_select_queue() and cfq_completed_request(). The latter
ensures that the close cooperator code does not get invoked if the current
cfqq is of class IDLE but the former doesn't seem to have any such checks.
So an IDLE cfqq may get merged with a BE cfqq from the same group which
should be avoided.
