    delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct task · c96f5471

    Before commit:
    
      e33a9bba ("sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler")
    
    delayacct_blkio_end() was called after context-switching into the task which
    completed I/O.
    
    This resulted in double counting: the task would account a delay both waiting
    for I/O and for time spent in the runqueue.
    
    With e33a9bba, delayacct_blkio_end() is called by try_to_wake_up().
    In ttwu, we have not yet context-switched. This is more correct, in that
    the delay accounting ends when the I/O is complete.
    
    But delayacct_blkio_end() relies on 'get_current()', and we have not yet
    context-switched into the task whose I/O completed. This results in the
    wrong task having its delay accounting statistics updated.
    
    Instead of doing that, pass the task_struct being woken to delayacct_blkio_end(),
    so that it can update the statistics of the correct task.
