[Devel] [PATCH VZ10 01/11] drivers/md/dm-rq: fix time accounting for request-based dm drivers

Currently all requests for request-based dm drivers are falling in
the last bin for both normal and precise counting due to incorrect
calculations.

Ordinary counting expects that start_time passed to dm_stats_account_io()
is an absolute value and substracts it from jiffies to get request time.
However rq_end_stats() calculates and passes request duration. So we
actually get jiffies - <request_duration_in_jiffies>, which is incorrect.
rq_end_stats() should not do the substraction.

For precise calulation stats->aux_duration_ns is used. It is calculated
in dm_stats_account_io() like that:
stats_aux->duration_ns = ktime_to_ns(ktime_get()) - stats_aux->duration_ns;
The problem is that stats_aux->duration_ns() is set by
dm_stats_record_start() which is called only for bio-based targets.
It should also be called in dm_start_request().
