Yes, of course, other bfqqs still have requests, but current
implementation have flaws that even if other bfqqs doesn't have
requests, bfq_asymmetric_scenario() can still return true because
num_groups_with_pending_reqs > 0. We tried to fix this, however, there
seems to be some misunderstanding with Paolo, and it's not applied to
mainline yet...

Thanks,
