Subject: [ 100/104] x86: Eliminate irq_mis_count counted in arch_irq_stat

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Li Fei <fei.li@...el.com>

commit f7b0e1055574ce06ab53391263b4e205bf38daf3 upstream.

With the current implementation, kstat_cpu(cpu).irqs_sum is also
increased in case of irq_mis_count increment.

So there is no need to count irq_mis_count in arch_irq_stat,
otherwise irq_mis_count will be counted twice in the sum of
/proc/stat.
