block/diskstats: more accurate approximation of io_ticks for slow disks
Currently io_ticks is approximated by adding one at each start and end of
requests if jiffies counter has changed. This works perfectly for requests
shorter than a jiffy or if one of requests starts/ends at each jiffy.
If disk executes just one request at a time and they are longer than two
jiffies then only first and last jiffies will be accounted.
Fix is simple: at the end of request add up into io_ticks jiffies passed
since last update rather than just one jiffy.
Example: common HDD executes random read 4k requests around 12ms.
Now io_ticks does not loose time between start and end of requests, but
for queue-depth > 1 some I/O time between adjacent starts might be lost.
For load estimation "%util" is not as useful as average queue length,
but it clearly shows how often disk queue is completely empty.
