Subject: [PATCH 3/3] nohz: Fix iowait overcounting if iowait task migrates
Before this change, if last IO-blocked task wakes up
on a different CPU, the original CPU may stay idle for much longer,
and the entire time it stays idle is accounted as iowait time.
This change adds struct tick_sched::iowait_exittime member.
On entry to idle, it is set to KTIME_MAX.
Last IO-blocked task, if migrated, sets it to current time.
Note that this can happen only once per each idle period:
new iowaiting tasks can't magically appear on idle CPU's rq.
If iowait_exittime is set, then (iowait_exittime - idle_entrytime)
gets accounted as iowait, and the remaining (now - iowait_exittime)
as "true" idle.
Run-tested: /proc/stats no longer go backwards.
