blk-iocost: account for IO size when testing latencies
On each IO completion, iocost decides whether the IO met or missed its latency target. Currently, the targets are fixed numbers per IO type. While this can be good enough for loose latency targets way higher than typical completion latencies, the effect of IO size makes it difficult to tighten the latency target - a target adequate for 4k IOs might be too tight for 512k IOs and vice-versa. iocost already has all the necessary information to account for different IO sizes when testing whether the latency target is met as iocost can calculate the size vtime cost of a given IO. This patch updates the completion path to calculate the size vtime cost of the IO, deduct the nsec equivalent from the observed latency and use the adjusted value to decide whether the target is met. This makes latency targets independent from IO size and enables determining adequate latency targets with fixed size fio runs.
