This code path is killed since 5b18b5a73760 ("block: delete part_round_stats and
switch to less precise counting").

However, it still can be triggered via readding proc & sysfs iostat.

Jian Chao worked patches for this issue before, please refer to:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/1553492318-1810-1-git-send-email-jianchao.w.wang@oracle.com/

but didn't get chance to merge.

Thanks,
