Commit 'sched/cpuacct: Split usage accounting into user_usage and sys_usage' causing crashes

[Guenter Roeck]

Hi,

your commit 'sched/cpuacct: Split usage accounting into user_usage and
sys_usage' in -next causes crashes with several of my qemu tests (mac99,
q3beige). Reverting the patch fixes the problem.

Details and complete logs are available at
	http://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-ppc-next
The scripts are published at
	https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/ppc

Crash log and bisect log are attached.
