dm mpath: add start_io and nr_bytes to path selectors
This patch makes two additions to the dm path selector interface for
dynamic load balancers:
o a new hook, start_io()
o a new parameter 'nr_bytes' to select_path()/start_io()/end_io()
to pass the size of the I/O
start_io() is called when a target driver actually submits I/O
to the selected path.
Path selectors can use it to start accounting of the I/O.
(e.g. counting the number of in-flight I/Os.)
The start_io hook is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2005-October/msg00050.html
nr_bytes, the size of the I/O, is so path selectors can take the
size of the I/O into account when deciding which path to use.
dm-service-time uses it to estimate service time, for example.
(Added the nr_bytes member to dm_mpath_io instead of using existing
details.bi_size, since request-based dm patch deletes it.)
