patch.
Moves the ksoftirqd pointers out of the irq_stat struct, and use a
normal per-cpu variable. It's not that time critical, nor referenced
in assembler. This moves us closer to making irq_stat a per-cpu variable.
Because some archs have hardcoded asm references to offsets in this
structure, I haven't touched non-x86. The __ksoftirqd_task field
is unused in other archs, too.
