I test this against kvm guest (nohz_full, four vCPUs running on one
pCPU, four cpuhog processes running on four vCPUs).
before this fix patch:
vCPU0's st is 100%, other vCPUs' st are ~75%.
after this fix patch:
all vCPUs' st are ~85%.
However, w/o commit "sched,time: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq
time", all vCPUs' st are ~75%.
