blkio: Changes to IO controller additional stats patches
that include some minor fixes and addresses all comments.
Changelog: (most based on Vivek Goyal's comments)
o renamed blkiocg_reset_write to blkiocg_reset_stats
o more clarification in the documentation on io_service_time and io_wait_time
o Initialize blkg->stats_lock
o rename io_add_stat to blkio_add_stat and declare it static
o use bool for direction and sync
o derive direction and sync info from existing rq methods
o use 12 for major:minor string length
o define io_service_time better to cover the NCQ case
o add a separate reset_stats interface
o make the indexed stats a 2d array to simplify macro and function pointer code
o blkio.time now exports in jiffies as before
o Added stats description in patch description and
Documentation/cgroup/blkio-controller.txt
o Prefix all stats functions with blkio and make them static as applicable
o replace IO_TYPE_MAX with IO_TYPE_TOTAL
o Moved #define constant to top of blk-cgroup.c
o Pass dev_t around instead of char *
o Add note to documentation file about resetting stats
o use BLK_CGROUP_MODULE in addition to BLK_CGROUP config option in #ifdef
statements
o Avoid struct request specific knowledge in blk-cgroup. blk-cgroup.h now has
rq_direction() and rq_sync() functions which are used by CFQ and when using
io-controller at a higher level, bio_* functions can be added.
