dm writecache: count number of blocks written, not number of write bios
[ Upstream commit b2676e1482af89714af6988ce5d31a84692e2530 ] Change dm-writecache, so that it counts the number of blocks written instead of the number of write bios. Bios can be split and requeued using the dm_accept_partial_bio function, so counting bios caused inaccurate results.
