KVM selects delay-accounting only to get sched-info for steal-time accounting.
Meanwhile delay-accounting can be disabled by boot option. This is ridiculous.

This patch adds internal boolean option CONFIG_TASK_SCHED_INFO to enable only
task->sched_info and its collecting inside scheduler.


<cut>

  static inline int sched_info_on(void)
  {
-#ifdef CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS
+#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS) || IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM)
  	return 1;

CONFIG_TASK_SCHED_INFO?


It makes it equal to constant 1, because all its callers are
under #ifdef CONFIG_TASK_SCHED_INFO =)

its current code:

static inline int sched_info_on(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS
	return 1;
#elif defined(CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT)
	extern int delayacct_on;
	return delayacct_on;
#else
	return 0;
#endif
}

CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS == debug option in lib/Kconfig.debug for /proc/schedstat
CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT == wierd net-link based statistics collecting tool

Thus, may be better to remove this function, because it can return 0
only if delay-accounting is compiled but disabled by boot option
(delayacct_on =1 by default since 2.6.18)

patch follows...
