From: Rik van Riel <[email protected]>

The CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN irq time tracking code does not
appear to currently work right.

On CPUs that are nohz_full, people typically do not assign IRQs.
On the housekeeping CPU (when a system is booted up with nohz_full),
sampling should work ok to determine irq and softirq time use, but
that only covers the housekeeping CPU itself, not the other
non-nohz_full CPUs.

On CPUs that are nohz_idle (the typical way a distro kernel is
booted), irq time is not accounted at all while the CPU is idle,
due to the lack of timer ticks.

Remove the VTIME_GEN vtime irq time code. The next patch will
allow NO_HZ_FULL kernels to use the IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING code.
