I picked this to match the f2fs_update_iostat() definition. Do we know
how many applications will be affected? I don't have any at a glance in
Android tho.

void f2fs_update_iostat(struct f2fs_sb_info *sbi, struct inode *inode,
                        enum iostat_type type, unsigned long long io_bytes)
