sched: cpu accounting controller (V2)

Commit cfb52856 removed a useful feature for
us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller.  This feature would be
useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt
really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption.

The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's
original patch (Commit 62d0df64), with
these differences:

        - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp
	  to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for
	  2.6.25 after more discussions.
        - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs
	  stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler
	  classes
	- Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage
	  counter to be per-cpu
	- Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the
	  code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly
	  needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing
	  rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in
	  kernel/sched.c)

The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting
information.

 Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran
 some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in
 the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with
 cpuacct.usage.
