block, bfq: remove direct switch to an entity in higher class

Browse Source 
If the function bfq_update_next_in_service is invoked as a consequence
of the activation or requeueing of an entity, say E, and finds out
that E belongs to a higher-priority class than that of the current
next-in-service entity, then it sets next_in_service directly to
E. But this may lead to anomalous schedules, because E may happen not
be eligible for service, because its virtual start time is higher than
the system virtual time for its service tree.

This commit addresses this issue by simply removing this direct
switch.
