Subject: [PATCH v4] sched/cputime: account ksoftirqd's time on SYSTEM in
 PREEMPT_RT

In PREEMPT_RT kernel, we dont want ksoftirqd's time accounting on SOFTIRQ
since it is available to the scheduler (while it is unpreemptable in
mainline). So we put it into SYSTEM like any other task running in SYSTEM.
With this patch, when ksoftirqd is taking CPU's time, we observe SYSTEM
in /proc/stat would be bigger than before while SOFTIRQ would be less,
which behaves in contract to mainline, but more suitable for PREEMPT_RT.
