sched/cputime: Fix ksoftirqd cputime accounting regression

irq_time_read() returns the irqtime minus the ksoftirqd time. This is necessary because irq_time_read() is used to substract the IRQ time from the sum_exec_runtime of a task. If we were to include the softirq time of ksoftirqd, this task would substract its own CPU time everytime it updates ksoftirqd->sum_exec_runtime which would therefore never progress.

But this behaviour got broken by commit a499a5a14db:
("sched/cputime: Increment kcpustat directly on irqtime account")
which now includes ksoftirqd softirq time in the time returned by irq_time_read().

This has resulted in wrong ksotfirqd cputime reported to userspace

through /proc/stat and thus "top" not showing ksoftirqd when it should after intense networking load.

ksoftirqd->stime happens to be correct but it gets scaled down by sum_exec_runtime through task_cputime_adjusted().

To fix this, just account the strict IRQ time in a separate counter and use it to report the IRQ time.
