/proc/uptime reports idle time by reading the CPUTIME_IDLE field from
the per-cpu kcpustats. However, on NO_HZ systems, idle time is not
continually updated on idle cpus, leading this value to appear
incorrectly small.

/proc/stat performs an accounting update when reading idle time; we can
use the same approach for uptime.

With this patch, /proc/stat and /proc/uptime now agree on idle time.
Additionally, the following shows idle time tick up consistently on an
idle machine:
(while true; do cat /proc/uptime; sleep 1; done) | awk '{print $2-prev; prev=$2}'

v2:
- Move get_idle_time() from cputime.c back into stat.c
- Use kcpustat_cpu_fetch
