Please avoid the overly long line.

I'd name this something like bio_start_io_acct_time to be a little more
descriptive

Plase add an empty line after the variable declaration.

I wonder if just returning the passed in time from __part_start_io_acct
wouldn't be a bit cleaner to avoid all the extra local variables.
