Not sure if CFQ will be worse than deadline with slice_idle=0. CFQ has
some inbuilt things which should help.

- Readers preempt Writers
- All writers go in one single queue (at one prio level), readers get
  their individual queues and can outnumber writers.

So I guess CFQ with slice_idle=0 should not be worse than deadline in terms
of read latencies.
