make sure sync wakeups preempt too - the scheduler will not
overschedule as we've got various throttles against that.
As a result, sync wakeups can be used more widely in the kernel
(to signal wakeup affinity between tasks), and no arbitrary
latencies will be introduced either.
Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

make sync wakeups affine for cache-cold tasks: if a cache-cold task
is woken up by a sync wakeup then use the opportunity to migrate it
straight away. (the two tasks are 'related' because they communicate)

modify account_system_time() to add cputime to cpustat->guest if we are
running a VCPU. We add this cputime to cpustat->user instead of
cpustat->system because this part of KVM code is in fact user code
although it is executed in the kernel. We duplicate VCPU time between
guest and user to allow an unmodified "top(1)" to display correct value.
A modified "top(1)" is able to display good cpu user time and cpu guest
time by subtracting cpu guest time from cpu user time. Update "gtime" in
task_struct accordingly.

init_sched_domain_sysctl was walking cpus 0-n and referencing per_cpu

Prevent wakeup over-scheduling.  Once a task has been preempted by a
task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated
preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept.  Instead, the
task is marked for preemption at the next tick.  Tasks of higher
priority still preempt immediately.
