The idle time reported in /proc/stat sometimes incorrectly contains huge values on s390. This is caused by a bug in arch_cpu_idle_time(). The kernel tries to figure out when a different cpu entered idle by accessing its per-cpu data structure. There is an ordering problem: if the remote cpu has an idle_enter value which is not zero, and an idle_exit value which is zero, it is assumed it is idle since "now". The "now" timestamp however is taken before the idle_enter value is read. Which in turn means that "now" can be smaller than idle_enter of the remote cpu. Unconditionally subtracting idle_enter from "now" can thus lead to a negative value (aka large unsigned value). Fix this by moving the get_tod_clock() invocation out of the loop. While at it also make the code a bit more readable. A similar bug also exists for show_idle_time(). Fix this is as well.
