Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] tick-sched: Do not clear the iowait and idle times

Prior to this commit, the cpu idle and iowait data in /proc/stat were
cleared when a CPU goes down.  When the CPU came back online, both idle
and iowait times were restarted from 0.

This commit preserves the CPU's idle and iowait values when a CPU goes
offline and comes back online.
