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.
