[098/115] sched: Fix softirq time accounting

[Greg KH <gregkh@suse.de>]

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

Commit: 75e1056f5c57050415b64cb761a3acc35d91f013 upstream

Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in
VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread:

   http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html

The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There
is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is
being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh
is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq.

Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses
softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled.

Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count
for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq
processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which
returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not.

Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c
to in_serving_softirq.

Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those
changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.
