Well, it can be confusing whether we are dealing with blkg->iostat orI mean, we need to distinguish them. For 32bits, blkg->iostat has multiple
blkg->iostat_cpu. In many cases, we are dealing with iostat_cpu instead of
iostat like __blkcg_rstat_flush() and blkg_clear_stat(). So we can't
eliminate the use of u64_stats_update_begin_irqsave() in those cases.
updaters, so we can't use u64_sync; however, blkg->iostat_cpu has only one
updater (except blkg_clear_stat() which I don't think we need to worry too
much about), so u64_sync is fine.
