sched/cputime: Accumulate vtime on top of nsec clocksource

Currently the cputime source used by vtime is jiffies. When we cross
a context boundary and jiffies have changed since the last snapshot, the
pending cputime is accounted to the switching out context.

This system works ok if the ticks are not aligned across CPUs. If they
instead are aligned (ie: all fire at the same time) and the CPUs run in
userspace, the jiffies change is only observed on tick exit and therefore
the user cputime is accounted as system cputime. This is because the
CPU that maintains timekeeping fires its tick at the same time as the
others. It updates jiffies in the middle of the tick and the other CPUs
see that update on IRQ exit:

    CPU 0 (timekeeper)                  CPU 1
    -------------------              -------------
                      jiffies = N
    ...                              run in userspace for a jiffy
    tick entry                       tick entry (sees jiffies = N)
    set jiffies = N + 1
    tick exit                        tick exit (sees jiffies = N + 1)
                                                account 1 jiffy as stime

Fix this with using a nanosec clock source instead of jiffies. The
cputime is then accumulated and flushed everytime the pending delta
reaches a jiffy in order to mitigate the accounting overhead.

[ fweisbec: changelog, rebase on struct vtime, field renames, add delta
  on cputime readers, keep idle vtime as-is (low overhead accounting),
  harmonize clock sources. ]
