block: fix I/O throttling accounting blind spot
I/O throttling relies on bdrv_acct_done() which is called when a request completes. This leaves a blind spot since we only charge for completed requests, not submitted requests. For example, if there is 1 operation remaining in this time slice the guest could submit 3 operations and they will all be submitted successfully since they don't actually get accounted for until they complete. Originally we probably thought this is okay since the requests will be accounted when the time slice is extended. In practice it causes fluctuations since the guest can exceed its I/O limit and it will be punished for this later on. Account for I/O upon submission so that I/O limits are enforced properly.
