Revert "block: inherit request start time from bio for BLK_CGROUP"
This reverts commit 0006707. It has a
couple problems:
* bio_issue_time() is stored in bio->bi_issue truncated to 51 bits. This
overflows in slightly over 26 days. Setting rq->io_start_time_ns with it
means that io duration calculation would yield >26days after 26 days of
uptime. This, for example, confuses kyber making it cause high IO
latencies.
* rq->io_start_time_ns should record the time that the IO is issued to the
device so that on-device latency can be measured. However,
bio_issue_time() is set before the bio goes through the rq-qos controllers
(wbt, iolatency, iocost), so when the bio gets throttled in any of the
mechanisms, the measured latencies make no sense - on-device latencies end
up higher than request-alloc-to-completion latencies.
We'll need a smarter way to avoid calling ktime_get_ns() repeatedly
back-to-back. For now, let's revert the commit.
