sched, latencytop: incorporate review feedback from Andrew Morton
Andrew had some suggestions for the latencytop file; this patch takes care
of most of these:
* Add documentation
* Turn account_scheduler_latency into an inline function
* Don't report negative values to userspace
* Make the file operations struct const
* Fix a few checkpatch.pl warnings
