You cannot account using the orig_bio because it doesn't reflect
splits that occurred.  orig_bio will be updated to reflect the split
after __map_bio returns all the way back to dm_split_and_process_bio.

So there is no imbalance between start_io_acct and end_io_acct's calls
to dm_stats_account_io.

Also, in_flight counters don't (or shouldn't) care about the payload.

So again, I'm not following the reasoning on this patch.
