[PATCH v5] blk-mq: fix start_time_ns and alloc_time_ns for pre-allocated rq

[chengming.zhou@linux.dev]

From: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@bytedance.com>

The iocost rely on rq start_time_ns and alloc_time_ns to tell saturation
state of the block device. Most of the time request is allocated after
rq_qos_throttle() and its alloc_time_ns or start_time_ns won't be affected.

But for plug batched allocation introduced by the commit 47c122e35d7e
("block: pre-allocate requests if plug is started and is a batch"), we can
rq_qos_throttle() after the allocation of the request. This is what the
blk_mq_get_cached_request() does.

In this case, the cached request alloc_time_ns or start_time_ns is much
ahead if blocked in any qos ->throttle().

Fix it by setting alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns to now when the allocated
request is actually used.

v5:
 - Don't reuse __blk_mq_alloc_requests(), which makes it much complex.
 - Always initialize the time stamps after blk_mq_rq_ctx_init(), which
   is clearer, as suggested by Christoph Hellwig.
 - We still need to pass optional alloc_time_ns to blk_mq_rq_time_init(),
   which includes depth and tag waits time by definition.
 - [v4] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230629121302.1124851-1-chengming.zhou@linux.dev/

v4:
 - Use blk_mq_alloc_data to pass start_time_ns instead of passing down
   yet another parameter. Thanks Christoph Hellwig.
 - [v3] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230628124546.1056698-1-chengming.zhou@linux.dev/

v3:
 - Skip setting the alloc_time_ns and start_time_ns during pre-allocation,
   which is clearer, as suggested by Tejun.
 - [v2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230626050405.781253-1-chengming.zhou@linux.dev/
