It's a good idea to combine them into a single sum. I separated them in
order to be consistent with the task accounting and for easy to understand.
As for change the task accounting, I've tried but I haven't found a
proper method to do so. I've considered the following methods:
1. Account the uncookie'd force idle time to the uncookie'd task, but
it'll be hard to trace the uncookie'd task.
2. Account the uncookie'd force idle time to the cookie'd task in the
core_tree of the core, but it will cost a lot on traversing the core_tree.

Many thanks for suggestions.
Best,
Cruz Zhao
