sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting

Commit:

57430218317 ("sched/cputime: Count actually elapsed irq & softirq time")

... didn't take steal time into consideration with passing the noirqtime
kernel parameter.

As Paolo pointed out before:

| Why not? If idle=poll, for example, any time the guest is suspended (and
| thus cannot poll) does count as stolen time.

This patch fixes it by reducing steal time from idle time accounting when
the noirqtime parameter is true. The average idle time drops from 56.8%
to 54.75% for nohz idle kvm guest(noirqtime, idle=poll, four vCPUs running
on one pCPU).
