    kernel - Properly account system time for contending tokens
    
    * When the LWKT schedule gets stuck on a contending token it switches
      through the idle thread, the idle thread is told not to halt, and
      resolution of the contention is handled by lwkt_switch() from the
      idle thread's context.
    
    * This was causing token contention to be improperly accounted for as
      idle time in the per-cpu stats.  Fix the case by testing the
      RQF_AST_LWKT_RESCHED flag which tells the idle thread not to halt,
      and account for the tick as system time if the flag is set.
    
    * The improper time accounting was causing powerd to come to the wrong
      conclusion in massively parralel fsstress tests on monster.dragonflybsd.org
      (48 cpus).  With the fix, powerd no longer becomes confused.
