Use generic io accounting functions to manage io stats. There was an
attempt to do this earlier in commit 18c0b223cf99 ("md: use generic io
stats accounting functions to simplify io stat accounting"), but it did
not include a call to generic_end_io_acct() and caused issues with
tracking in-flight IOs, so it was later removed in commit 74672d069b29
("md: fix md io stats accounting broken").
This patch attempts to fix this by using both disk_start_io_acct() and
disk_end_io_acct(). To make it possible, a struct md_io is allocated for
every new md bio, which includes the io start_time. A new mempool is
introduced for this purpose. We override bio->bi_end_io with our own
callback and call disk_start_io_acct() before passing the bio to
md_handle_request(). When it completes, we call disk_end_io_acct() and
the original bi_end_io callback.
This adds correct statistics about in-flight IOs and IO processing time,
interpreted e.g. in iostat as await, svctm, aqu-sz and %util.
It also fixes a situation where too many IOs where reported if a bio was
re-submitted to the mddev, because io accounting is now performed only
on newly arriving bios.

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.
