still charge unaccounted time against our queuing cfs_rq).


... Obviously this is supposed to be in lieu of the first patch.

I'm tired :(

sched: move periodic share updates to entity_tick()

Long running entities that do not block (dequeue) require periodic
updates to
maintain accurate share values. (Note: group entities with several
threads are
quite likely to be non-blocking in many circumstances).

By virtue of being long-running however, we will see entity ticks
(otherwise
the required update occurs in dequeue/put and we are done). Thus we can
move
the detection (and associated work) for these updates into the periodic
path.

This restores the 'atomicity' of update_curr() with respect to accounting.
