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 function 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.

I think it would be better to leave this jiffies legacy nonsense in
callers and pass here request duration in nanoseconds.

So rewriting them to nanoseconds later wouldn't touch generic code.
