Add two new helpers to simplify I/O accounting for bio based drivers. Currently these drivers use the generic_start_io_acct and generic_end_io_acct helpers which have very cumbersome calling conventions, don't actually return the time they started accounting, and try to deal with accounting for partitions, which can't happen for bio based drivers. The new helpers will be used to subsequently replace uses of the old helpers. The main API is the bio based wrappes in blkdev.h, but for zram which wants to account rw_page based I/O lower level routines are provided as well.

README
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.
