sched: cpuacct: Use bigger percpu counter batch values for stats counters

When CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT are
enabled we can call cpuacct_update_stats with values much larger
than percpu_counter_batch.  This means the call to
percpu_counter_add will always add to the global count which is
protected by a spinlock and we end up with a global spinlock in
the scheduler.

Based on an idea by KOSAKI Motohiro, this patch scales the batch
value by cputime_one_jiffy such that we have the same batch
limit as we would if CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING was disabled.
His patch did this once at boot but that initialisation happened
too early on PowerPC (before time_init) and it was never updated
at runtime as a result of a hotplug cpu add/remove.

This patch instead scales percpu_counter_batch by
cputime_one_jiffy at runtime, which keeps the batch correct even
after cpu hotplug operations.  We cap it at INT_MAX in case of
overflow.

For architectures that do not support
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, cputime_one_jiffy is the constant 1
and gcc is smart enough to optimise min(s32
percpu_counter_batch, INT_MAX) to just percpu_counter_batch at
least on x86 and PowerPC.  So there is no need to add an #ifdef.

On a 64 thread PowerPC box with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING and
CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled, a context switch microbenchmark
is 234x faster and almost matches a CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT
disabled kernel:

 CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT disabled:   16906698 ctx switches/sec
 CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT enabled:       61720 ctx switches/sec
 CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT + patch:	   16663217 ctx switches/sec

Tested with:

 wget http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/context_switch.c
 make context_switch
 for i in `seq 0 63`; do taskset -c $i ./context_switch & done
 vmstat 1
