sbitmap: Advance the queue index before waking up a queue
commit 976570b4ecd30d3ec6e1b0910da8e5edc591f2b6 upstream.
When a queue is awaken, the wake_index written by sbq_wake_ptr currently
keeps pointing to the same queue. On the next wake up, it will thus
retry the same queue, which is unfair to other queues, and can lead to
starvation. This patch, moves the index update to happen before the
queue is returned, such that it will now try a different queue first on
the next wake up, improving fairness.
