The original problem was caused by commit
a9327cac440be4d8333bba975cbbf76045096275 ("Seperate read and write
statistics of in_flight requests") which went into Linus' tree on Sept
15.  The drbd tee was fixed to cope with that change.  Then that commit
was reverted in Linus' tree on Oct 5, so the fix to the drbd tree needs
to be reverted as well.  Unfortunately, the drbd tree has been rebased
into (basically) one commit, so that commit needs fixing.
