blkio stats empty for zfs on kernel 5.x #78

Description

I have two docker instances on the same server, both using:
Docker version 18.09.3, build 774a1f4

and

containerd github.com/containerd/containerd 1.2.4 e6b3f5632f50dbc4e9cb6288d911bf4f5e95b18e

Kernel:
5.0.1-050001-generic

One is using overlay2, the other is using zfs as the graph driver. The instance on overlay2 is running fine, however the zfs instance is not reporting blkio stats:

  "blkio_stats": {
    "io_service_bytes_recursive": [],
    "io_serviced_recursive": [],
    "io_queue_recursive": [],
    "io_service_time_recursive": [],
    "io_wait_time_recursive": [],
    "io_merged_recursive": [],
    "io_time_recursive": [],
    "sectors_recursive": []
  },

I am trying to debug this further, the blkio controller for cgroups seems to have changed, I am only seeing the following stats inside container cgroups:

# ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/

drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root             0 Mar 21 07:48 .

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Mar 21 12:29 blkio.throttle.write_bps_device
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Mar 21 12:29 blkio.throttle.write_iops_device
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Mar 21 12:29 cgroup.clone_children
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Mar 21 12:29 cgroup.procs
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Mar 21 12:29 notify_on_release
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             0 Mar 21 12:29 tasks

So none of the blkio.io* files mentioned here exist:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v1/blkio-controller.txt

These are the default kernel config options in 5.0.1 (we're using a default mainline kernel):

CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP=y
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_IOLATENCY is not set

I have tried with both BFQ enabled and disabled (mq-deadline), also tried zfs with and without the zfs_vdev_scheduler=bfq option, but both made no difference.

I believe the relevant code is:
https://github.com/containerd/cgroups/blob/master/blkio.go

However I haven't had a chance to properly dive into the code yet, perhaps I'm missing something obvious, can anyone point me in the right direction? I've also posted in the relevant docker issue for checking kernel 5.x compatibility here moby/moby#38887, however this seems to be a containerd issue.
