Subject: [PATCH] sched/cpuacct: Fix user/system in shown cpuacct.usage*

cpuacct has 2 different ways of accounting and showing user and system times.

The first one uses cpuacct_account_field() to account times and cpuacct.stat file to expose them. And this one seems to work ok.

The second one is uses cpuacct_charge() function for accounting and set of cpuacct.usage* files to show times. Despite some attempts to fix it in the past it still doesn't work. Sometimes while running KVM guest the cpuacct_charge() accounts most of the guest time as system time. This doesn't match with user&system times shown in cpuacct.stat or proc/<pid>/stat.

Demonstration:

 # git clone https://github.com/aryabinin/kvmsample
 # make
 # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct/test
 # echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct/test/tasks
 # ./kvmsample &
 # for i in {1..5}; do cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct/test/cpuacct.usage_sys; sleep 1; done

Use cpustats accounted in cpuacct_account_field() as the source of user/sys times for cpuacct.usage* files. Make cpuacct_charge() to account only summary execution time.
