Subject: [PATCH v4] io_uring: Statistics of the true utilization of sq
 threads.

v4:
1.Since the sq thread has a while(1) structure, during this process,
  there may be a lot of time that is not processing IO but does not
exceed the timeout period, therefore, the sqpoll thread will keep
running and will keep occupying the CPU. Obviously, the CPU is wasted at
this time;Our goal is to count the part of the time that the sqpoll
thread actually processes IO, so as to reflect the part of the CPU it
uses to process IO, which can be used to help improve the actual
utilization of the CPU in the future.

2."work_time" in the code represents the sum of the jiffies of the sq
  thread actually processing IO, that is, how many milliseconds it
actually takes to process IO. "total_time" represents the total time
that the sq thread has elapsed from the beginning of the loop to the
current time point, that is, how many milliseconds it has spent in
total.
The output "SqBusy" represents the percentage of time utilization that
the sq thread actually uses to process IO.

The test results are as follows:
Every 0.5s: cat /proc/23112/fdinfo/6 | grep Sq
SqMask: 0x3
SqHead: 1168417
SqTail: 1168418
CachedSqHead:   1168418
SqThread:       23112
SqThreadCpu:    55
SqBusy: 97%
