block, bfq: fix procress reference leakage for bfqq in merge chain


Original state:

        Process 1       Process 2       Process 3       Process 4
         (BIC1)          (BIC2)          (BIC3)          (BIC4)
          Λ                |               |               |
           \--------------\ \-------------\ \-------------\|
                           V               V               V
          bfqq1--------->bfqq2---------->bfqq3----------->bfqq4
    ref    0               1               2               4

After commit 0e456dba ("block, bfq: choose the last bfqq from merge
chain in bfq_setup_cooperator()"), if P1 issues a new IO:

Without the patch:

        Process 1       Process 2       Process 3       Process 4
         (BIC1)          (BIC2)          (BIC3)          (BIC4)
          Λ                |               |               |
           \------------------------------\ \-------------\|
                                           V               V
          bfqq1--------->bfqq2---------->bfqq3----------->bfqq4
    ref    0               0               2               4

bfqq3 will be used to handle IO from P1, this is not expected, IO
should be redirected to bfqq4;

With the patch:

          -------------------------------------------
          |                                         |
        Process 1       Process 2       Process 3   |   Process 4
         (BIC1)          (BIC2)          (BIC3)     |    (BIC4)
                           |               |        |      |
                            \-------------\ \-------------\|
                                           V               V
          bfqq1--------->bfqq2---------->bfqq3----------->bfqq4
    ref    0               0               2               4

IO is redirected to bfqq4, however, procress reference of bfqq3 is still
2, while there is only P2 using it.

Fix the problem by calling bfq_merge_bfqqs() for each bfqq in the merge
chain. Also change bfqq_merge_bfqqs() to return new_bfqq to simplify
code.
