      Global values for service time and utilization are garbage. For
      interval values, utilization is always 100%, and service time is
      higher than normal.
      
      I bisected it down to:
      [a9327cac] Seperate read and write
      statistics of in_flight requests
      and verified that reverting just that commit indeed solves the issue
      on 2.6.32-rc1."
      
      So until this is debugged, revert the bad commit.

      We cannot delay for the first dispatch of the async queue if it
      hasn't dispatched at all, since that could present a local user
      DoS attack vector using an app that just did slow timed sync reads
      while filling memory.
