x86/process: Add AVX-512 usage elapsed time to /proc/pid/arch_status



AVX-512 components usage can result in turbo frequency drop. So it's useful
to expose AVX-512 usage elapsed time as a heuristic hint for user space job
schedulers to cluster the AVX-512 using tasks together.

Examples:
$ while [ 1 ]; do cat /proc/tid/arch_status | grep AVX512; sleep 1; done
AVX512_elapsed_ms:      4
AVX512_elapsed_ms:      8
AVX512_elapsed_ms:      4

This means that 4 milliseconds have elapsed since the tsks AVX512 usage was
detected when the task was scheduled out.

$ cat /proc/tid/arch_status | grep AVX512
AVX512_elapsed_ms:      -1

'-1' indicates that no AVX512 usage was recorded for this task.

The time exposed is not necessarily accurate when the arch_status file is
read as the AVX512 usage is only evaluated when a task is scheduled
out. Accurate usage information can be obtained with performance counters.
