backport proc/stat NO_HZ fixes
____________

proc: Consider NO_HZ when printing idle and iowait times
show_stat handler of the /proc/stat file relies on kstat_cpu(cpu)
statistics when priting information about idle and iowait times.
This is OK if we are not using tickless kernel (CONFIG_NO_HZ) because
counters are updated periodically.
With NO_HZ things got more tricky because we are not doing idle/iowait
accounting while we are tickless so the value might get outdated.
Users of /proc/stat will notice that by unchanged idle/iowait values
which is then interpreted as 0% idle/iowait time. From the user space
POV this is an unexpected behavior and a change of the interface.

Let's fix this by using get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us which accounts the
total idle/iowait time since boot and it doesn't rely on sampling or any
other periodic activity. Fall back to the previous behavior if NO_HZ is
disabled or not configured.

procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time for nohz
Since commit a25cac5198d4 ("proc: Consider NO_HZ when printing idle and
iowait times") we are reporting idle/io_wait time also while a CPU is
tickless.  We rely on get_{idle,iowait}_time functions to retrieve
proper data.

These functions, however, use usecs_to_cputime to translate micro
seconds time to cputime64_t.  This is just an alias to usecs_to_jiffies
which reduces the data type from u64 to unsigned int and also checks
whether the given parameter overflows jiffies_to_usecs(MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET)
and returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET in that case.

When we overflow depends on CONFIG_HZ but especially for CONFIG_HZ_300
it is quite low (1431649781) so we are getting MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET for
>3000s! until we overflow unsigned int.  Just for reference
CONFIG_HZ_100 has an overflow window around 20s, CONFIG_HZ_250 ~8s and
CONFIG_HZ_1000 ~2s.

This results in a bug when people saw [h]top going mad reporting 100%
CPU usage even though there was basically no CPU load.  The reason was
simply that /proc/stat stopped reporting idle/io_wait changes (and
reported MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET) and so the only change happening was for user
system time.

Let's use nsecs_to_jiffies64 instead which doesn't reduce the precision
to 32b type and it is much more appropriate for cumulative time values
(unlike usecs_to_jiffies which intended for timeout calculations).

proc: stats: Use arch_idle_time for idle and iowait times if available
Git commit a25cac5198d4ff28 "proc: Consider NO_HZ when printing idle and
iowait times" changes the code for /proc/stat to use get_cpu_idle_time_us
and get_cpu_iowait_time_us if the system is running with nohz enabled.
For architectures which define arch_idle_time (currently s390 only)
this is a change for the worse. The result of arch_idle_time is supposed
to be the exact sleep time of the target cpu and should be used instead
of the value kept by the scheduler.

nohz: Fix idle ticks in cpu summary line of /proc/stat
Git commit 09a1d34f8535ecf9 "nohz: Make idle/iowait counter update
conditional" introduced a bug in regard to cpu hotplug. The effect is
that the number of idle ticks in the cpu summary line in /proc/stat is
still counting ticks for offline cpus.

Reproduction is easy, just start a workload that keeps all cpus busy,
switch off one or more cpus and then watch the idle field in top.
On a dual-core with one cpu 100% busy and one offline cpu you will get
something like this:

%Cpu(s): 48.7 us,  1.3 sy,  0.0 ni, 50.0 id,  0.0 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.0 si,
%0.0 st

The problem is that an offline cpu still has ts->idle_active == 1.
To fix this we should make sure that the cpu is online when calling
get_cpu_idle_time_us and get_cpu_iowait_time_us.
