Even perf, which is included in the kernel tree, doesn't include the
space - example perf top output:

0 bcachefs:move_extent_fail
0 bcachefs:move_extent_alloc_mem_fail
3 bcachefs:move_data
0 bcachefs:evacuate_bucket
0 bcachefs:copygc
2 bcachefs:copygc_wait
195K bcachefs:transaction_commit
0 bcachefs:trans_restart_injected

(I'm also going to need to submit a patch that deletes or makes optional
the B suffix, just because we're using human readable units doesn't mean
it's bytes).
