sched, time: Switch VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to jiffy granularity

Browse Source 
When profiling syscall overhead on nohz-full kernels,
after removing __acct_update_integrals() from the profile,
native_sched_clock() remains as the top CPU user. This can be
reduced by moving VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN to jiffy granularity.

This will reduce timing accuracy on nohz_full CPUs to jiffy
based sampling, just like on normal CPUs. It results in
totally removing native_sched_clock from the profile, and
significantly speeding up the syscall entry and exit path,
as well as irq entry and exit, and KVM guest entry & exit.

Additionally, only call the more expensive functions (and
advance the seqlock) when jiffies actually changed.

This code relies on another CPU advancing jiffies when the
system is busy. On a nohz_full system, this is done by a
housekeeping CPU.

A microbenchmark calling an invalid syscall number 10 million
times in a row speeds up an additional 30% over the numbers
with just the previous patches, for a total speedup of about
40% over 4.4 and 4.5-rc1.

Run times for the microbenchmark:

 4.4				3.8 seconds
 4.5-rc1			3.7 seconds
 4.5-rc1 + first patch		3.3 seconds
 4.5-rc1 + first 3 patches	3.1 seconds
 4.5-rc1 + all patches		2.3 seconds

A non-NOHZ_FULL cpu (not the housekeeping CPU):

 all kernels			1.86 seconds
