[PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: setup

Initialization code related to collection of per-task "delay" statistics which
measure how long it had to wait for cpu, sync block io, swapping etc.  The
collection of statistics and the interface are in other patches.  This patch
sets up the data structures and allows the statistics collection to be
disabled through a kernel boot parameter.
