Current idle time in kstat is based on jiffies and is coarse grained.
tick_sched.idle_sleeptime is making some attempt to keep track of idle time
in a fine grained manner.  But, it is not handling the time spent in
interrupts fully.

Make tick_sched.idle_sleeptime accurate with respect to time spent on
handling interrupts and also add tick_sched.idle_lastupdate, which keeps
track of last time when idle_sleeptime was updated.

This statistics will be crucial for cpufreq-ondemand governor, which can
shed some conservative gaurd band that is uses today while setting the
frequency.  The ondemand changes that uses the exact idle time is coming
soon.
