Many io statistics were being sampled and saved using adapter-based data structures. This was creating a lot of contention and cache thrashing in the I/O path. Move the statistics to the hardware queue data structures. Given the per-queue data structures, use of atomic types is lessened. Add new sysfs and debugfs stat routines to collate the per hardware queue values and report at an adapter level.

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.
