Subject: [PATCH] tick: Don't clear idle and iowait sums on CPU down

From: Sai Gurrappadi <sgurrappadi@...dia.com>

NOHZ related per-cpu data is cleared on CPU down. This was introduced by
4b0c0f294 "tick: Cleanup NOHZ per cpu data on cpu down" which breaks
/proc/stats because the idle and iowait sums are now non-monotonic
across a CPU down/up cycle.

Fix this by not clearing the idle_sleeptime and iowait_sleeptime fields
on CPU down.
