cfq-iosched: make nonrot check logic consistent

cfq_arm_slice_timer() has logic to disable idle window for SSD device. The same
thing should be done at cfq_select_queue() too, otherwise we will still see
idle window. This makes the nonrot check logic consistent in cfq.
Tests in a intel SSD with low_latency knob close, below patch can triple disk
thoughput for muti-thread sequential read.
