[PATCH v2] cpuacct: VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING don't prevent percpu cputime count

[KOSAKI Motohiro]

Changelog:
  since v1
  - use percpu_counter_sum() instead percpu_counter_read()


-------------------------------------
Subject: [PATCH v2] cpuacct: VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING don't prevent percpu cputime count

cpuacct_update_stats() is called at every tick updating. and it use percpu_counter
for avoiding performance degression.

For archs which define VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, every tick would result
in >1000 units of cputime updates and since this is much much greater
than percpu_batch_counter, we end up taking spinlock on every tick.

This patch change batch rule. now, any cpu can store "percpu_counter_bach * jiffies"
cputime in per-cpu cache.
it mean this patch don't have behavior change if VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=n.
