jbd2: jbd2 stats through procfs

The patch below updates the jbd stats patch to 2.6.20/jbd2.
The initial patch was posted by Alex Tomas in December 2005
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-ext4&m=113538565128617&w=2).
It provides statistics via procfs such as transaction lifetime and size.

Sometimes, investigating performance problems, i find useful to have
stats from jbd about transaction's lifetime, size, etc. here is a
patch for review and inclusion probably.

for example, stats after creation of 3M files in htree directory:

where,

R     - line for transaction's life from T_RUNNING to T_FINISHED
C     - line for transaction's checkpointing
tid   - transaction's id
wait  - for how long we were waiting for new transaction to start
         (the longest period journal_start() took in this transaction)
run   - real transaction's lifetime (from T_RUNNING to T_LOCKED
lock  - how long we were waiting for all handles to close
         (time the transaction was in T_LOCKED)
flush - how long it took to flush all data (data=ordered)
log   - how long it took to write the transaction to the log
hndls - how many handles got to the transaction
block - how many blocks got to the transaction
inlog - how many blocks are written to the log (block + descriptors)
ctime - how long it took to checkpoint the transaction
write - how many blocks have been written during checkpointing
drop  - how many blocks have been dropped during checkpointing
close - how many running transactions have been closed to checkpoint this one

all times are in msec.


[root@bob ~]# cat /proc/fs/jbd/sda/info
280 transaction, each upto 8192 blocks
average:
  1633ms waiting for transaction
  3616ms running transaction

  1ms flushing data (in ordered mode)
  1799ms logging transaction
  11781 handles per transaction
