Good catch, looks like I did only patch up the mq bits. It's still not
perfect, since we could potentially double account a request that has a
private end_io(), if it was allocated through the normal block rq
allocator. It'll skew the unrelated-io-timestamp a bit, but it's not a
big deal. The count for inflight will be consistent, which is the
important part.

We currently have just 1 bit to tell if the request is tracked or not,
so we don't know if it was tracked but already seen.

I'll fix up the blk-core part to be identical to the blk-mq fix.
