sched: Add IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, finer accounting of irq time
s390/powerpc/ia64 have support for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING which does the fine granularity accounting of user, system, hardirq, softirq times. Adding that option on archs like x86 will be challenging however, given the state of TSC reliability on various platforms and also the overhead it will add in syscall entry exit. Instead, add a lighter variant that only does finer accounting of hardirq and softirq times, providing precise irq times (instead of timer tick based samples). This accounting is added with a new config option CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING so that there won't be any overhead for users not interested in paying the perf penalty. This accounting is based on sched_clock, with the code being generic. So, other archs may find it useful as well. This patch just adds the core logic and does not enable this logic yet.
