sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler

For an interface to support blocking for IOs, it must call
io_schedule() instead of schedule().  This makes it tedious to add IO
blocking to existing interfaces as the switching between schedule()
and io_schedule() is often buried deep.

As we already have a way to mark the task as IO scheduling, this can
be made easier by separating out io_schedule() into multiple steps so
that IO schedule preparation can be performed before invoking a
blocking interface and the actual accounting happens inside the
scheduler.

io_schedule_timeout() does the following three things prior to calling
schedule_timeout().

 1. Mark the task as scheduling for IO.
 2. Flush out plugged IOs.
 3. Account the IO scheduling.

done close to the actual scheduling.  This patch moves #3 into the
scheduler so that later patches can separate out preparation and
finish steps from io_schedule().
