Yang Yang a3b2aeac9d delayacct: track delays from IRQ/SOFTIRQ
Delay accounting does not track the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ.  While
IRQ/SOFTIRQ could have obvious impact on some workloads productivity, such
as when workloads are running on system which is busy handling network
IRQ/SOFTIRQ.

Get the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ could help users to reduce such delay.  Such
as setting interrupt affinity or task affinity, using kernel thread for
NAPI etc.  This is inspired by "sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track
IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure"[1].  Also fix some code indent problems of older
code.

And update tools/accounting/getdelays.c:
    / # ./getdelays -p 156 -di
    print delayacct stats ON
    printing IO accounting
    PID     156
