When a queue is awaken, the wake_index written by sbq_wake_ptr currently
keeps pointing to the same queue. On the next wake up, it will thus
retry the same queue, which is unfair to other queues, and can lead to
starvation. This patch, moves the index update to happen before the
queue is returned, such that it will now try a different queue first on
the next wake up, improving fairness.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
