sched: sched_clock_idle_[sleep|wakeup]_event()

construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by
using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent
idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2,
TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems.

( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and
  printk-timestamps as well. )

Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup
callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where
the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise
task statistics.

the ACPI bits were acked by Len.
