blkio: Add io_queued and avg_queue_size stats

These stats are useful for getting a feel for the queue depth of the cgroup,
i.e., how filled up its queues are at a given instant and over the existence of
the cgroup. This ability is useful when debugging problems in the wild as it
helps understand the application's IO pattern w/o having to read through the
userspace code (coz its tedious or just not available) or w/o the ability
to run blktrace (since you may not have root access and/or not want to disturb
performance).
