blk-iocost: don't ignore vrate_min on QD contention
ioc_adjust_base_vrate() ignored vrate_min when rq_wait_pct indicates that there is QD contention. The reasoning was that QD depletion always reliably indicates device saturation and thus it's safe to override user specified vrate_min. However, this sometimes leads to unnecessary throttling, especially on really fast devices, because vrate adjustments have delays and inertia. It also confuses users because the behavior violates the explicitly specified configuration. This patch drops the special case handling so that vrate_min is always applied.
