The current virtual timer interface is inherently per-cpu and hard to
use. The sole user of the interface is appldata which uses it to execute
a function after a specific amount of cputime has been used over all cpus.
Rework the virtual timer interface to hook into the cputime accounting.
This makes the interface independent from the CPU timer interrupts, and
makes the virtual timers global as opposed to per-cpu.
Overall the code is greatly simplified. The downside is that the accuracy
is not as good as the original implementation, but it is still good enough
for appldata.

Whenever the cpu loads an enabled wait PSW it will appear as idle to the
underlying host system. The code in default_idle calls vtime_stop_cpu
which does the necessary voodoo to get the cpu time accounting right.
The udelay code just loads an enabled wait PSW. To correct this rework
the vtime_stop_cpu/vtime_start_cpu logic and move the difficult parts
to entry[64].S, vtime_stop_cpu can now be called from anywhere and
vtime_start_cpu is gone. The correction of the cpu time during wakeup
from an enabled wait PSW is done with a critical section in entry[64].S.
As vtime_start_cpu is gone, s390_idle_check can be removed as well.

In case mod_virt_timer is used to add a non pending timer the timer
is always added as a one-shot timer. If mod_virt_timer is used for
periodic timers they may therfore be degraded to one-shot timers.
Add mod_virt_timer_periodic to the interface to allow safe re-programming
of the interval value.

Distinguish the cputime of the idle process where idle is actually using
cpu cycles from the cputime where idle is sleeping on an enabled wait psw.
The former is accounted as system time, the later as idle time.

On s390 we always want to run with precise cputime accounting.
Remove the config options VIRT_TIMER and VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING.
