[PATCH -tip 2/4] sched: Do not account bogus utime

[Stanislaw Gruszka]

Due to rounding in scale_stime(), for big numbers, scaled stime values
will grow in chunks. Since rtime grow in jiffies and we calculate utime
like below:

	prev->stime = max(prev->stime, stime);
	prev->utime = max(prev->utime, rtime - prev->stime);

we could erroneously account stime values as utime. To prevent that only
update prev->{u,s}time values when they are smaller than current rtime.
