I suspect you're right - TASK_DELAY_ACCT seems to be the closest to what
we need. SCHEDSTATS has the "advantage" of forcing sched_info_on() to
return true - preventing it from being disabled. But we clearly don't
want to require CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL for CONFIG_KVM.

The next best is CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT which enables sched_info_on()
unless "nodelayacct" is specified on the cmdline. It seems reasonable
that the cmdline option might break stolen time.

So let's just copy x86:

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm64: Select TASK_DELAY_ACCT rather than SCHEDSTATS

SCHEDSTATS requires DEBUG_KERNEL (and PROC_FS) and therefore isn't a
good choice for enabling the scheduling statistics required for stolen
time.

Instead match the x86 configuration and select TASK_DELAY_ACCT. This
adds the dependencies of NET && MULTIUSER for arm64 KVM.
