KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 478735e388 /proc/stat: fix scalability of irq sum of all cpu
In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each
irq's events on all cpus.  But we can make use of kstat_irqs().

kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ,
it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.)

If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does

	for_each_irq()
		for_each_cpu()
			- look up a radix tree
			- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]
This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for
CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as

	for_each_irq()
		look up radix tree
		for_each_cpu()
			- read desc->irq_stat[cpu]

This reduces cost.
