block: support to account io_ticks precisely

Currently, io_ticks is accounted based on sampling, specifically
update_io_ticks() will always account io_ticks by 1 jiffies from
bdev_start_io_acct()/blk_account_io_start(), and the result can be
inaccurate, for example(HZ is 250):

Test script:
fio -filename=/dev/sda -bs=4k -rw=write -direct=1 -name=test -thinktime=4ms

Test result: util is about 90%, while the disk is really idle.

This behaviour is introduced by commit 5b18b5a ("block: delete
part_round_stats and switch to less precise counting"), however, there
was a key point that is missed that this patch also improve performance
a lot:

Before the commit:
part_round_stats:
  if (part->stamp != now)
   stats |= 1;

  part_in_flight()
  -> there can be lots of task here in 1 jiffies.
  part_round_stats_single()
   __part_stat_add()
  part->stamp = now;

After the commit:
update_io_ticks:
  stamp = part->bd_stamp;
  if (time_after(now, stamp))
   if (try_cmpxchg())
    __part_stat_add()
    -> only one task can reach here in 1 jiffies.

Hence in order to account io_ticks precisely, we only need to know if
there are IO inflight at most once in one jiffies. Noted that for
rq-based device, iterating tags should not be used here because
'tags->lock' is grabbed in blk_mq_find_and_get_req(), hence
part_stat_lock_inc/dec() and part_in_flight() is used to trace inflight.
The additional overhead is quite little:

 - per cpu add/dec for each IO for rq-based device;
 - per cpu sum for each jiffies;

And it's verified by null-blk that there are no performance degration
under heavy IO pressure.
