This adds items to the taststats struct to account for user and system
time based on scaling the CPU frequency and instruction issue rates.
Adds account_(user|system)_time_scaled callbacks which architectures
can use to account for time using this mechanism.

Make available to the user the following task and process performance
statistics:
* Involuntary Context Switches (task_struct->nivcsw)
* Voluntary Context Switches (task_struct->nvcsw)
Statistics information is available from:
1. taskstats interface (Documentation/accounting/)
2. /proc/PID/status (task only).
This data is useful for detecting hyperactivity patterns between processes.

ChangeLog:
Feedbacks from Andrew Morton:
- define TS_COMM_LEN to 32
- change acct_stimexpd field of task_struct to be of
cputime_t, which is to be used to save the tsk->stime
of last timer interrupt update.
- a new Documentation/accounting/taskstats-struct.txt
to describe fields of taskstats struct.
Feedback from Balbir Singh:
- keep the stime of a task to be zero when both stime
and utime are zero as recoreded in task_struct.
Misc:
- convert accumulated RSS/VM from platform dependent
pages-ticks to MBytes-usecs in the kernel

On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks
exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can
overflow a userspace listener's buffers.
One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a
limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners
and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data
overload more gracefully.
In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus
by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task
exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested
in that cpu.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and
general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC
family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their
lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple
accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay
accounting.
This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data
that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task.
Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an
additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.
