I found miscalculation of irq_info->load for any irqs assigned to
topo_obj other than CPUs. With the debug option, you can see it as
follows:

--
Package 0:  numa_node is 0 cpu mask is 0000003f (load 1770000000)
(snip)
                  Interrupt 102 node_num is -1 (ethernet/459999226:11117)
          Interrupt 33 node_num is -1 (legacy/1:0)
  Interrupt 0 node_num is -1 (other/1770000000:1)
  Interrupt 64 node_num is -1 (other/1:0)
--

Though IRQ0 had just one interruption during the period, its load value
was wrongly calculated to be 1,770,000,000 nsec.
This is because compute_irq_branch_load_share() does not take into
account any irq counts of children and grandchildren, and does mis-
understand that only IRQ0 has consumed all the (irq + softirq) CPU time.

To fix the problem, I introduce following two changes:

- Add topo_obj->irq_count in order to accumulate interrupts effectively,
 - Change topo_obj->load from the average of children's load to the sum
   of them. I believe it would make sense from the topological point of
   view.

With the modification, the debug log shows:

--
Package 0:  numa_node is 0 cpu mask is 0000003f (load 7340266498)
(snip)
                  Interrupt 102 node_num is -1 (ethernet/2459985766:61406)
          Interrupt 33 node_num is -1 (legacy/1:0)
  Interrupt 64 node_num is -1 (other/1:0)
  Interrupt 62 node_num is -1 (other/1:0)
  Interrupt 60 node_num is -1 (other/1:0)
  Interrupt 58 node_num is -1 (other/1:0)
  Interrupt 9 node_num is -1 (other/1:0)
  Interrupt 4 node_num is -1 (other/1:0)
  Interrupt 0 node_num is -1 (other/20815:1)
--

The load of IRQ0 is now calculated to be 20,815 nsec. It looks more
accurate.
