Subject: [for-next][PATCH 8/9] rtla/timerlat: Make timerlat_top_cpu->*_count unsigned long long

From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@...hat.com>

Most fields of struct timerlat_top_cpu are unsigned long long, but the
fields {irq,thread,user}_count are int (32-bit signed).

This leads to overflow when tracing on a large number of CPUs for a long
enough time:
$ rtla timerlat top -a20 -c 1-127 -d 12h
...
  0 12:00:00   |          IRQ Timer Latency (us)        |         Thread Timer Latency (us)
CPU COUNT      |      cur       min       avg       max |      cur       min       avg       max
 1 #43200096  |        0         0         1         2 |        3         2         6        12
...
127 #43200096  |        0         0         1         2 |        3         2         5        11
ALL #119144 e4 |                  0         5         4 |                  2        28        16

The average latency should be 0-1 for IRQ and 5-6 for thread, but is
reported as 5 and 28, about 4 to 5 times more, due to the count
overflowing when summed over all CPUs: 43200096 * 127 = 5486412192,
however, 1191444898 (= 5486412192 mod MAX_INT) is reported instead, as
seen on the last line of the output, and the averages are thus ~4.6
times higher than they should be (5486412192 / 1191444898 = ~4.6).

Fix the issue by changing {irq,thread,user}_count fields to unsigned
long long, similarly to other fields in struct timerlat_top_cpu and to
the count variable in timerlat_top_print_sum.
