Please make this

static inline void delayacct_set_flag(int flag) { }

Same in all other files

Please use a structure for that.

struct delay_account {
ktime_t delay;
u64 count;
};

Also instead of having tons of fields added, please use something like

enum {
CPU_ACCT,
BLKIO_ACCT,
....,
MAX_ACCT_TYPES
};
struct delay_account stats[MAX_ACCT_TYPES];

When will this overflow happen ? 2^64 nsec ~= 584 years

Please add some comment what this code does.

I really do not get whatfor all these comparisons are. How can those
values get > 2^63 within a reasonable timeframe ?

Please remove that comment. The err label goes to a place where it makes
sense.
