[Patch 2/8] Sync block I/O and swapin delay collection

[Shailabh Nagar <nagar@watson.ibm.com>]

Changelog

Fixes comments by akpm
- avoid creating new per-process flag PF_SWAPIN

delayacct-blkio-swapin.patch

Collect per-task block I/O delay statistics.

Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting
patches, now delays are only collected for the actual
I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen in
I/O submission paths.

Account separately for block I/O delays
incurred as a result of swapin page faults whose
frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit.
Hence swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes
independent of I/O priority changes.
