From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@xxxxxxx>
Commit 56440e63ac17 ("fio: report percentiles for slat, clat, lat")
together with commit 38ec5c514104 ("stat: make priority summary statistics
consistent with percentiles") changed so that per prio stats track either
completion latency (clat) or total latency (lat), depending on the option
lat_percentiles.
It is not obvious why add_clat_sample() shouldn't add a high/low clat prio
sample when option lat_percentiles is set, especially considering that
option lat_percentiles is usually used for controlling if total latency
percentiles should be displayed or not.
Add comments to describe why add_clat_sample() has to care about option
lat_percentiles.
