sched: Use rq->clock_task instead of rq->clock for correctly maintaining load averages

The delta in clock_task is a more fair attribution of how much time a tg has
been contributing load to the current cpu.

While not really important it also means we're more in sync (by magnitude)
with respect to periodic updates (since __update_curr deltas are clock_task
based).
