Looking at this patch again, I think I need to do another pass on it.

We should get rid of the hardirq_offset argument, it doesn't really make sense
anymore. Also it makes the accounting buggy now. It's called from the tick
through account_user_time() with hardirq_offset=1, so the irq time is
incorrectly
accumulated as system time. Guest time may be incorrect too.
In fact it may have been buggy even before this patchset because
vtime_account_user()
isn't only called from the tick but also from task switch, and hardirq_offset
remains 1
for those two cases. Not good.

This call should be removed, the task switch already calls vtime_account_user().
