Subject: procfs: do not confuse jiffies with cputime64_t

Commit 2a95ea6c0d129b4568fb64e1deda16ceb20e6636 ("procfs: do not
overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time for nohz") did not take into account
that one some architectures jiffies and cputime use different units.
Instead of converting the usec value returned by
get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us to units of jiffies, use the new function
usecs_to_cputime64 to convert it to the correct unit of cputime64_t.
