cputime: Generalize CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
S390, ia64 and powerpc all define their own version
of CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING. Generalize the config
and its description to a single place to avoid
duplication.

- help
- Select this option to enable more accurate task and CPU time
- accounting. This is done by reading a CPU counter on each
- kernel entry and exit and on transitions within the kernel
- between system, softirq and hardirq state, so there is a
- small performance impact. This also enables accounting of
- stolen time on logically-partitioned systems running on
- IBM POWER5-based machines.
