Hi Tejun,
Why not directly transfer stats to cfqg->stats. IOW, what's the advantage
of maintaining dead_stats separately.

Anyway group will be marked offline and later freed. So resetting stats
might not be required.
In fact if we have a realiable way of resetting status then online/offline
infrastructure might not be required? I think per cpu stats will be a
problem though and that's why we probably require logic to online/offline
the group?
Thanks
