Subject: md: fix md io stats accounting broken

From: Gu Zheng <[email protected]>

commit 74672d069b298b03e9f657fd70915e055739882e upstream.

Simon reported the md io stats accounting issue:
"
I'm seeing "iostat -x -k 1" print this after a RAID1 rebuild on 4.0-rc5. It's not abnormal other than it's 3-disk, with one being SSD (sdc) and the other two being write-mostly:

The cause is commit "18c0b223cf9901727ef3b02da6711ac930b4e5d4" uses the generic_start_io_acct to account the disk stats rather than the open code, but it also introduced the increase to .in_flight[rw] which is needless to md. So we re-use the open code here to fix it.
