From: Chunguang Xu <brookxu@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Before the wraparound occurs, the value of io_ticks should
be monotonically increasing, but we sometimes find that io_ticks
will become smaller, which leads to abnormal values in monitoring
tools. On the IO submission path, blk_account_io_start() may
interrupt the system interruption. When the interruption returns,
the value of part->stamp may have been updated by other cores, so
the time value now collected before the interruption may be less
than part->stamp, and then make the calculated value of io_ticks
become smaller. Therefore, when now is less than part->stamp, we
should do nothing.
