[PATCH v3 2/2] blk-mq: Add a polling specific stats function

[sbates@raithlin.com]

From: Stephen Bates <sbates@raithlin.com>

Rather than bucketing IO statisics based on direction only we also
bucket based on the IO size. This leads to improved polling
performance. Update the bucket callback function and use it in the
polling latency estimation.
