Ok, so while looking over this, it mostly uses for_each_present_cpu(),
which is already dubious, but then cpuacct_stats_show() uses
for_each_online_cpu().

Why is this? Why not always for_each_possible_cpu()?

Surely, if you offline a cpu, you still want its stat to be included in
your totals, otherwise your numbers will go backwards when you take a
cpu offline.

Could you double check the logic and maybe fix?

Thanks!
