engines/null: fill issue_time during commit
For iodepth > 1, the null ioengine is an asynchronous ioengine, yet it
does not report submission latency. This patch adds code for setting
issue_time in order to calculate submission latency.
The extra work does reduce performance for iodepth > 1 but this
reduction can be mitigated with options like gtod_reduce.
- there are no differeces at qd 1 (5837K vs 5864K)
- default options at qd 256 shows an 8% IOPS reduction (3583K vs 3303K).
- gtod_reduce=1 at qd 256 shows a 3% IOPS reduction (5119K vs 4966K).
