block: Make CFQ default to IOPS mode on SSDs 

CFQ idling causes reduced IOPS throughput on non-rotational disks.
Since disk head seeking is not applicable to SSDs, it doesn't really
help performance by anticipating future near-by IO requests.

By turning off idling (and switching to IOPS mode), we allow other
processes to dispatch IO requests down to the driver and so increase IO
throughput.

Following FIO benchmark results were taken on a cloud SSD offering with
idling on and off:

Idling     iops    avg-lat(ms)    stddev            bw
------------------------------------------------------
    On     7054    90.107         38.697     28217KB/s
   Off    29255    21.836         11.730    117022KB/s

fio --name=temp --size=100G --time_based --ioengine=libaio \
    --randrepeat=0 --direct=1 --invalidate=1 --verify=0 \
    --verify_fatal=0 --rw=randread --blocksize=4k --group_reporting=1 \
    --filename=/dev/sdb --runtime=10 --iodepth=64 --numjobs=10

And the following is from a local SSD run:
