Ravikiran G Thirumalai 4004c69ad6 Avoid too many remote cpu references due to /proc/stat
Optimize show_stat to collect per-irq information just once.

On x86_64, with newer kernel versions, kstat_irqs is a bit of a problem.
On every call to kstat_irqs, the process brings in per-cpu data from all
online cpus.  Doing this for NR_IRQS, which is now 256 + 32 * NR_CPUS
results in (256+32*63) * 63 remote cpu references on a 64 cpu config.
Considering the fact that we already compute this value per-cpu, we can
save on the remote references as below.
