throttle-groups: Skip the round-robin if a member is being drained
In the throttling code after an I/O request has been completed the next one is selected from a different member using a round-robin algorithm. This ensures that all members get a chance to finish their pending I/O requests. However, if a group member has its I/O limits disabled (because it's being drained) then we should always give it priority in order to have all its pending requests finished as soon as possible. If we don't do this we could have a member in the process of being drained waiting for the throttled requests of other members, for which the I/O limits still apply. This can have additional consequences: if we're running in qtest mode (with QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL) then timers can only fire if we advance the clock manually, so attempting to drain a block device can hang QEMU in the BDRV_POLL_WHILE() loop at the end of bdrv_do_drained_begin().
