IO scheduler being set to cfq is causing long hangs and bad performance during large file writes

Reported by jc2...@cornell.edu, Nov 26 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 8872.54.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/55.0.2883.54 Safari/537.36
Platform: 8872.54.0 (Official Build) beta-channel lulu

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Use a microSD card.

Verify that /sys/block/sd*/queue/scheduler for the SD card is set to cfq

Have a large (~1 GB) file on an SSD

Use the command line to copy the file from the SSD to the SD card.

What is the expected behavior?
Minimal hang, no freezing

What went wrong?
Chrome hangs, other applications hang until the file is completely written to the SD card.

Did this work before? Yes Likely before this change: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=390336

Chrome version: 55.0.2883.54  Channel: beta
OS Version: 8872.54.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

The performance is good if I manually set the scheduler to "noop" for the SD card.

The issue seems to have fixed itself after an update in the last few weeks.
