Hi all,

Kent and I went on a little sprint of figuring out if there were any
pieces of bcachefs that we could steal for XFS.  It turns out that there
are -- the timestats code is useful for measuring delays due to lock
contention, and thread_with_file will be very helpful for exporting
filesystem metadata health events to userspace.

So here's a pile of patchsets lifting those pieces of bcachefs to lib
and fixing a bunch of bugs in them.  These patches have already been
soaking in Kent's testing tree (and -next) for a few days, but
apparently not all of them got emailed so here I am blasting out the
entire thing.

If you want to see what XFS does with this, have a look at [1] and [2].
For 6.9 it'd be helpful to get these modules lifted.
