sched_clock_cpu(cpu) should be converted from cputime to ns.  

Uhm, no. sched_clock_cpu() returns u64 in ns.  

Yes, and most of the cputime_t have been converted to u64 so there
should be no such conversion issue between u64 and cputime_t anymore.

Perhaps my commit has another side effect on softirq time accounting,
I'll see if I can reproduce.

(Disclaimer without knowing anything about the scheduler code)
my theory is that irqtime_account_irq() does not get invoked often
enough, as in my pktgen "overload" use-case keeps softirq always
running. And your change moved updating cpustat[CPUTIME_SOFTIRQ] here.
Before it got updated by account_other_time() which gets invoked from
irqtime_account_process_tick().
