Done. I'll send a patch fixing all review comments from the different patches.

I pulled up blkiocg_update_blkio_group_dequeue_stats() to where this
function is.

Using your calculations from the other thread, since this is at a much
coarser granularity than ns, I'm not sure we should be worrying about
overflow here.

The avg_queue_size stats (sum and samples) are being reset - see the
memset. The current count of how many IOs are queued should not be
reset since that will mess up the accounting and hit the BUG_ONs when
decrementing counts when the requests are dispatched.
