sched: Add a PF flag for ksoftirqd identification
To account softirq time cleanly in scheduler, we need to identify whether
softirq is invoked in ksoftirqd context or softirq at hardirq tail context.
Add PF_KSOFTIRQD for that purpose.
As all PF flag bits are currently taken, create space by moving one of the
infrequently used bits (PF_THREAD_BOUND) down in task_struct to be along
with some other state fields.
