sched: Remove irq time from available CPU power

The idea was suggested by Peter Zijlstra here:

  http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=127476934517534&w=2

irq time is technically not available to the tasks running on the CPU.
This patch removes irq time from CPU power piggybacking on
sched_rt_avg_update().

Tested this by keeping CPU X busy with a network intensive task having 75%
oa a single CPU irq processing (hard+soft) on a 4-way system. And start seven
cycle soakers on the system. Without this change, there will be two tasks on
each CPU. With this change, there is a single task on irq busy CPU X and
remaining 7 tasks are spread around among other 3 CPUs.
