genirq: Use rcu in kstat_irqs_usr()

Browse source

Jeremy Dorfman identified mutex contention when multiple threads
parse /proc/stat concurrently.

Since commit 425a5072dc ("genirq: Free irq_desc with rcu"),
kstat_irqs_usr() can be switched to rcu locking, which removes this mutex
contention.

show_interrupts() case will be handled in a separate patch.
