But on some drivers blk_update_request() may be called multiple times before
__blk_mq_end_request() is called and what's needed here is the total number of
bytes in the whole request, not just in the final completion.

This would work iff we get rid of partial completions and if we get rid of
partial completions, we might as well stop exposing blk_update_request() and
__blk_mq_end_request().

Thanks.
