drbd: drbd_al_being_io: short circuit to reduce latency
A request hitting an already "hot" extent should proceed right away,
even if some other requests need to wait for pending transactions.
Without that short-circuit, several simultaneous make_request contexts
race for committing the transaction, possibly penalizing the innocent.
