I fear we can't really play the exact same game as account_process_tick() here.
Since this is irqtime precise accounting, we have already computed the
irqtime delta in account_other_time() (or we will at some point in the future)
and substracted it from the ticks to account. This means that the remaining cputime
to account has to be either utime/stime/gtime/idle-time but not interrupt time, or
we may account interrupt time twice. And account_system_time() tries to account
irq time, for example if we interrupt a softirq.

Thanks.
