[PATCH] sched: fix init_idle()'s use of sched_clock()

From: Ingo Molnar

Maciej Rutecki reported:

Which, as noted by Linus, was caused by me, via:

7cbaef9c "sched: optimize sched_clock() a bit"

Move the rq locking a bit earlier in the initialization sequence,
that will make the sched_clock() call in init_idle() non-preemptible.
