Do not add io_ticks if there is no infligh io when start a new IO,
otherwise an extra 1 jiffy will be add to this IO.

I run the following command on a host, with different kernel version.

fio -name=test -ioengine=sync -bs=4K -rw=write
-filename=/home/test.fio.log -size=100M -time_based=1 -direct=1
-runtime=300 -rate=2m,2m

If we run fio in a sync direct io mode, IO will be proccessed one by one,
you can see that there are 512 IOs completed in one second.

kernel: 4.19.0

Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s  r/s    w/s rMB/s wMB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
vda       0.00   0.00 0.00 512.00  0.00  2.00     8.00     0.21  0.40    0.00    0.40  0.40 20.60

The averate io.latency is 0.4ms, so the disk time cost in one second
should be 0.4 * 512 = 204.8 ms, that means, %util should be 20%.

Becase update_io_ticks will add a extra 1 jiffy(1ms) for every IO, the
io.latency io.latency will be 1 + 0.4 = 1.4ms,
1.4 * 512 = 716.8ms, so the %util show it about 72%.

Device  r/s    w/s rMB/s wMB/s rrqm/s wrqm/s %rrqm %wrqm r_await w_await aqu-sz rareq-sz wareq-sz svctm  %util
vda    0.00 512.00  0.00  2.00   0.00   0.00  0.00  0.00    0.00    0.40   0.20     0.00     4.00  1.41  72.10

After this patch:
Device  r/s    w/s rMB/s wMB/s rrqm/s wrqm/s %rrqm %wrqm r_await w_await aqu-sz rareq-sz wareq-sz svctm  %util
vda    0.00 512.00  0.00  2.00   0.00   0.00  0.00  0.00    0.00    0.40   0.20     0.00     4.00  0.39  20.00
