sched/cputime: fix a deadlock on 32bit systems
cpu_hardirq_time and cpu_softirq_time are protected with
seqlock on 32bit systems. There is a potential deadlock
with this seqlock and rq->lock.
CPU 1 CPU0
========================== ========================
--> acquire CPU0 rq->lock --> __irq_enter()
----> task enqueue/dequeue ----> irqtime_account_irq()
------> update_rq_clock() ------> irq_time_write_begin()
--------> irq_time_read() --------> sched_account_irqtime()
(waiting for the seqlock (waiting for the CPU0 rq->lock)
held in irq_time_write_begin()
Fix this issue by dropping the seqlock before calling
sched_account_irqtime()
