cfq-iosched: make seek_mean converge more quickly
Right now, depending on the first sector to which a process issues I/O, the seek time may start out way out of whack. So make sure we start with 0 sectors in seek, instead of the offset of the first request issued. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
