Currently blk-mq does not report any event when two requests get merged
in the elevator. This then results in difficult to understand sequence
of events like:

...
  8,0   34     1579     0.608765271  2718  I  WS 215023504 + 40 [dbench]
  8,0   34     1584     0.609184613  2719  A  WS 215023544 + 56 <- (8,4) 2160568
  8,0   34     1585     0.609184850  2719  Q  WS 215023544 + 56 [dbench]
  8,0   34     1586     0.609188524  2719  G  WS 215023544 + 56 [dbench]
  8,0    3      602     0.609684162   773  D  WS 215023504 + 96 [kworker/3:1H]
  8,0   34     1591     0.609843593     0  C  WS 215023504 + 96 [0]

and you can only guess (after quite some headscratching since the above
excerpt is intermixed with a lot of other IO) that request 215023544+56
got merged to request 215023504+40. Provide proper event for request
merging like we used to do in the legacy block layer.

Jens, it seems people are fine with this patch in the end. Can you please
merge it? Thanks!

Applied for 5.9, thanks.
