Fix VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_GUEST to also account for guest nice time, similarly to how VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_USER also accounts for nice time.
Can you elaborate a bit what the problem is ... ideally in the commit message.
Well it is there, the problem is that as I introduced this last year I did not account for guest nice time. Hopefully we can still fix it as maybe no-one is relying on this yet..
VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_GUEST was introduced in: b5878727c714 ("util: virHostCPUGetStatsLinux: support VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_GUEST")
Extend the tests artificially to capture this specific case.
The trap was that the system on which the tests were likely generated did not include any guest_nice time, so tests seemed to pass. But now as I revisited the issue I noticed the missing guest_nice.
Fixes: b5878727c714d813c820ad4a1b695fbbb5ffc84e
v11.7.0-2-gb5878727c7

Shouldn't we rather introduce a new field rather than modify what the old one does?
I hope it's early enough that not many users are relying on VIR_NODE_CPU_STATS_GUEST , and accounting it together would be in line with what is done for the other stats. Thanks, Claudio
