[PATCH] NVMe: Adhere to request queue block accounting enable/disable

Recently, a new sysfs control "iostats" was added to selectively 
enable or disable io statistics collection for request queues.  This 
patch hooks that control.  

IO statistics collection is rather expensive on large, multi-node 
machines with drives pushing millions of iops.  Having the ability to 
disable collection if not needed can improve throughput significantly.

As a data point, on a quad E5-4640, I see more than 50% throughput
improvement when io statistics accounting is disabled during heavily 
multi-threaded small block random read benchmarks where device 
performance is in the million iops+ range.
