io_uring/sqpoll: be smarter on when to update the stime usage



Commit a94e0657 upstream.

The current approach is a bit naive, and hence calls the time querying
way too often. Only start the "doing work" timer when there's actual
work to do, and then use that information to terminate (and account) the
work time once done. This greatly reduces the frequency of these calls,
when they cannot have changed anyway.

Running a basic random reader that is setup to use SQPOLL, a profile
before this change shows these as the top cycle consumers:

+   32.60%  iou-sqp-1074  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] thread_group_cputime_adjusted
+   19.97%  iou-sqp-1074  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] thread_group_cputime
+   12.20%  io_uring      io_uring           [.] submitter_uring_fn
+    4.13%  iou-sqp-1074  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] getrusage
+    2.45%  iou-sqp-1074  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] io_submit_sqes
+    2.18%  iou-sqp-1074  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __pi_memset_generic
+    2.09%  iou-sqp-1074  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] cputime_adjust

and after this change, top of profile looks as follows:

+   36.23%  io_uring     io_uring           [.] submitter_uring_fn
+   23.26%  iou-sqp-819  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] io_sq_thread
+   10.14%  iou-sqp-819  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] io_sq_tw
+    6.52%  iou-sqp-819  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] tctx_task_work_run
+    4.82%  iou-sqp-819  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] nvme_submit_cmds.part.0
+    2.91%  iou-sqp-819  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] io_submit_sqes
[...]
     0.02%  iou-sqp-819  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] cputime_adjust

where it's spending the cycles on things that actually matter.
