Subject: [PATCH] dm writecache: fix inaccurate reads/writes stats

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

Test procedures:

1) format a dm writecache device with 4k blocksize.
2) flush cache.
3) cache 1G data through write.
4) clear stats.
5) read 2G data with bs=1m.
6) read stats.

Expected result:
cache hit ratio is 50%.

Test result:
stats: 0, 1011345, 749201, 0, 263168, 262144, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
ratio is 99% (262144/263168)

The way that reads is accounted is different between cache hit and cache
miss:

1) If cache hit, reads will be accounted for each entry, which means reads
and read_hits will both increase 256 for each io in the above test.

2) If cache miss, reads will only account once, which means reads will only
increase 1 for each io in the above test.

The case that writes_around has the same problem, fix it by adding
appropriate reads/writes in writecache_map_remap_origin().
