[dm-devel] [PATCH 3/4] dm-writecache: count the number of blocks written, not the number of write bios

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 of bios provided
inaccurate results.
