    racct: Simplify skipping idle process in the throttling daemon
    
    In racctd(), commit c72188d85a79 ("racct: Improve handling of the pcpu
    resource") added a superfluous test to skip the idle process when
    computing the resource usage and checking for limits, consisting of
    a comparison of the considered process' pointer with that of the process of
    the first CPU's idle thread.  The P_IDLEPROC flag introduced in commit
    33be1632047c ("racct: Fix accounting of CPU time for the system idle
    process") is sufficient and simpler for this purpose.
    
    In the second loop throttling processes based on their %CPU usage, the
    test excluding processes not in PRS_NORMAL was not consistent with that
    of the first loop (which tests for the idle process also).  This had no
    practical consequences except a superfluous call to
    racct_pcpu_available() as the RACCT_PCTCPU counter stays at 0 on the
    idle process (because of the first loop).  Factor out the test in the
    new racct_proc_to_skip() function.
    
    No functional change intended.
