Subject: [PATCH v2] add miss time to CPUTIME_USER when kernel boots with highres=off

When kernel boots with highres=off and the cpu load isn't full, almost
every tick will account towards CPUTIME_IDLE. But in /proc/stat, idle
time is obtained from get_idle_time.
So the sum time will lose the time of user tasks.

For example:
 # stress-ng --cpu 2 --taskset 66 --timeout 600 --cpu-load 50 &
 # cat /proc/stat | grep "cpu66";sleep 10; cat /proc/stat | grep "cpu66"
 cpu66 1038 0 72 50124 75 17 1 0 0 0
 cpu66 1038 0 72 50569 75 18 2 0 0 0

the detla of sum time is 447, which should be 1000 actually. It will
casue the data in top is imprecise.

v2:
Fix build error when CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS is not set.
