[PATCH] blk-cgroup: add CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_DEBUG_STATS option

[Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>]

Add a Kconfig option to enable blkcg_debug_stats by default at compile
time. When CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_DEBUG_STATS is enabled, additional debugging
information is shown in the cgroup io.stat file, including cost.wait,
cost.indebt, and cost.indelay for iocost, as well as latency statistics
for iolatency.

The runtime module parameter blkcg_debug_stats remains functional,
allowing the setting to be toggled regardless of the compile-time
default.

This option is commonly enabled by some hyperscalers, either through the
command line or custom patches. Let's make it part of the kernel.
