blkio: Add io_queued and avg_queue_size stats
These stats are useful for getting a feel for the queue depth of the cgroup, i.e., how filled up its queues are at a given instant and over the existence of the cgroup. This ability is useful when debugging problems in the wild as it helps understand the application's IO pattern w/o having to read through the userspace code (coz its tedious or just not available) or w/o the ability to run blktrace (since you may not have root access and/or not want to disturb performance).
