cfq-iosched: relax IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE restrictions
Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root only at the moment. This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only criteria as well.
