sched/cputime: Spare a seqcount lock/unlock cycle on context switch

On context switch we are locking the vtime seqcount of the scheduling-out
task twice:

 * On vtime_task_switch_common(), when we flush the pending vtime through
   vtime_account_system()

 * On arch_vtime_task_switch() to reset the vtime state.

This is pointless as these actions can be performed without the need
to unlock/lock in the middle. The reason these steps are separated is to
consolidate a very small amount of common code between
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE.

Performance in this fast path is definitely a priority over artificial
code factorization so split the task switch code between GEN and
NATIVE and mutualize the parts than can run under a single seqcount
locked block.

As a side effect, vtime_account_idle() becomes included in the seqcount
protection. This happens to be a welcome preparation in order to
properly support kcpustat under vtime in the future and fetch
CPUTIME_IDLE without race.
