block: drop the cached plug time when blk_add_rq_to_plug() flushes

blk_time_get_ns() caches the current time in the task's plug. The idea
is that the cache lives for one plug and is dropped when the plug is
flushed. __blk_flush_plug() and finish_task_switch() do that.

blk_add_rq_to_plug() also flushes, when the plug has too many requests
or the last request is at least BLK_PLUG_FLUSH_SIZE. But it calls
blk_mq_flush_plug_list() directly and never drops the cached time. So
a task that keeps submitting without sleeping stamps every request
after that with the time first cached in the plug. start_time_ns and
io_start_time_ns are stale and the disk stats charge each request for
the whole time since the plug began.

Drop the cached time after the flush, same as __blk_flush_plug() does.
