sched/cputime: Fix ksoftirqd cputime accounting regression
irq_time_read() returns the irqtime minus the ksoftirqd time. This is necessary because irq_time_read() is used to substract the IRQ time from the sum_exec_runtime of a task. If we were to include the softirq time of ksoftirqd, this task would substract its own CPU time everytime it updates ksoftirqd->sum_exec_runtime which would therefore never progress. But this behaviour got broken by: a499a5a1 ("sched/cputime: Increment kcpustat directly on irqtime account") ... which now includes ksoftirqd softirq time in the time returned by irq_time_read(). This has resulted in wrong ksoftirqd cputime reported to userspace through /proc/stat and thus "top" not showing ksoftirqd when it should after intense networking load. ksoftirqd->stime happens to be correct but it gets scaled down by sum_exec_runtime through task_cputime_adjusted(). To fix this, just account the strict IRQ time in a separate counter and use it to report the IRQ time.
