iocost: improve nr_lagging handling
Some IOs may span multiple periods. As latencies are collected on
completion, the inbetween periods won't register them and may
incorrectly decide to increase vrate. nr_lagging tracks these IOs to
avoid those situations. Currently, whenever there are IOs which are
spanning from the previous period, busy_level is reset to 0 if
negative thus suppressing vrate increase.
This has the following two problems.
* When latency target percentiles aren't set, vrate adjustment should
only be governed by queue depth depletion; however, the current code
keeps nr_lagging active which pulls in latency results and can keep
down vrate unexpectedly.
* When lagging condition is detected, it resets the entire negative
busy_level. This turned out to be way too aggressive on some
devices which sometimes experience extended latencies on a small
subset of commands. In addition, a lagging IO will be accounted as
latency target miss on completion anyway and resetting busy_level
amplifies its impact unnecessarily.
This patch fixes the above two problems by disabling nr_lagging
counting when latency target percentiles aren't set and blocking vrate
increases when there are lagging IOs while leaving busy_level as-is.
