/proc/stat: scalability of irq num per cpu

/proc/stat shows the total number of all interrupts to each cpu.  But when
the number of IRQs are very large, it take very long time and 'cat
/proc/stat' takes more than 10 secs.  This is because sum of all irq
events are counted when /proc/stat is read.  This patch adds "sum of all
irq" counter percpu and reduce read costs.

The cost of reading /proc/stat is important because it's used by major
applications as 'top', 'ps', 'w', etc....

A test on a mechin (4096cpu, 256 nodes, 4592 irqs) shows

 %time cat /proc/stat > /dev/null
 Before Patch:  12.627 sec
 After  Patch:  2.459 sec
