[PATCH 18/32] nohz: Generalize tickless cpu time accounting

[Frederic Weisbecker]

When the CPU enters idle, it saves the jiffies stamp into
ts->idle_jiffies, increment this value by one every time
there is a timer interrupt and accounts "jiffies - ts->idle_jiffies"
idle ticks when we exit idle. This way we still account the
idle CPU time even if the tick is stopped.

This patch settles the ground to generalize this for user
and system accounting. ts->idle_jiffies becomes ts->saved_jiffies and
a new member ts->saved_jiffies_whence indicates from which domain
we saved the jiffies: user, system or idle.

This is one more step toward making the tickless infrastructure usable
further idle contexts.

For now this is only used by idle but further patches make use of
it for user and system.
