Since powerpc started using CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, the
deterministic CPU accounting (CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING) has been
broken on powerpc, because we end up counting user time twice: once in
timer_interrupt() and once in update_process_times().
This fixes the problem by pulling the code in update_process_times
that updates utime and stime into a separate function called
account_process_tick. If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is not defined,
there is a version of account_process_tick in kernel/timer.c that
simply accounts a whole tick to either utime or stime as before. If
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is defined, then arch code gets to
implement account_process_tick.
This also lets us simplify the s390 code a bit; it means that the s390
timer interrupt can now call update_process_times even when
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is turned on, and can just implement a
suitable account_process_tick().

I don't know who maintains kernel/timer.c, but I assume it's one of
Ingo, Peter Z. or Thomas.
In fact the arch bits here don't need to go in at the same time as the
changes to include/linux/sched.h and kernel/timer.c, but could go in
later. I have included them here so people can see how these changes
help in the VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y case. The powerpc changes are
tested, but the s390 changes aren't.
In case it's not obvious, I'd like this (or at least the generic and
powerpc bits) to go in 2.6.24 since it fixes a regression.
