s390/vtime: correct system time accounting
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There is a slight misaccounting of system time in vtime_account_user.
This function is called once per HZ tick in interrupt context.
The irq_enter function already accounted the system time up to the
point of the irq_enter call. The system time from irq_enter until
vtime_account_user/do_account_vtime is reached is irq time but it
is accounted to the previous context.

Just drop the hardirq offset from arch/s390/kernel/vtime.c.
