[PATCH 1/5] blk-iocost: Account force-charged overage in absolute vtime

[Tejun Heo]

Currently, when a bio needs to be force-charged and there isn't enough
budget, vtime is simply pushed into the future.  This means that the
cost of the whole bio is scaled using the current hweight and then
charged immediately.  Until the global vtime advances beyond this
future vtime, the cgroup won't be allowed to issue normal IOs.

This is incorrect and can lead to, for example, exploding vrate or
extended stalls if vrate range is constrained.  Consider the following
scenario.

1. A cgroup with a very low hweight runs out of budget.

2. A storm of swap-out happens on it.  All of them are scaled
   according to the current low hweight and charged to vtime pushing
   it to a far future.

3. All other cgroups go idle and now the above cgroup has access to
   the whole device.  However, because vtime is already wound using
   the past low hweight, what its current hweight is doesn't matter
   until global vtime catches up to the local vtime.

4. As a result, either vrate gets ramped up extremely or the IOs stall
   while the underlying device is idle.

This is because the hweight the overage is calculated at is different
from the hweight that it's being paid at.

Fix it by remembering the overage in absoulte vtime and continuously
paying with the actual budget according to the current hweight at each
period.

Note that non-forced bios which wait already remembers the cost in
absolute vtime.  This brings forced-bio accounting in line.
