    proc: speed up /proc/stat handling · 59a32e2c

    On a typical 16 cpus machine, "cat /proc/stat" gives more than 4096 bytes,
    and is slow :
    
      # strace -T -o /tmp/STRACE cat /proc/stat | wc -c
      5826
      # grep "cpu " /tmp/STRACE
      read(0, "cpu  1949310 19 2144714 12117253"..., 32768) = 5826 <0.001504>
    
    Thats partly because show_stat() must be called twice since initial
    buffer size is too small (4096 bytes for less than 32 possible cpus)
    
    Fix this by :
    
     1) Taking into account nr_irqs in the initial buffer sizing.
    
     2) Using ksize() to allow better filling of initial buffer.
