[RFC PATCH 09/11] nohz,time: add tick_accounting_remote macro

[riel]

From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

With the introduction of remote tick based sampling, we now have
three ways of gathering time statistics:
- local tick based sampling
- vtime accounting (used natively on some architectures)
- remote tick based sampling

On a system with remote tick based sampling, the housekeeping
CPUs will still do local tick based sampling. This results in
needing two macros for switching the timekeeping code.
