[patch] sched/cputime: Fix NO_HZ_FULL getrusage() monotonicity regression

Hi Peter,

While running ltp, the fates decided it was time for me to encounter
the roughly 1 out of every 10 call failure below. As much as I run
ltp, I'm a bit surprised that I (or anyone else) haven't met this
before, but then the fates are known to be a tad fickle.

getrusage04 0 TINFO : Expected timers granularity is 4000 us
getrusage04 0 TINFO : Using 1 as multiply factor for max [us]time increment (1000+4000us)!
getrusage04 0 TINFO : utime: 0us; stime: 179us
getrusage04 0 TINFO : utime: 3751us; stime: 0us
getrusage04 1 TFAIL : getrusage04.c:133: stime increased > 5000us:

When applying the full rtime to either stime or utime, do not overwrite
the previously tallied value.

Fixes: 9d7fb0427648 ("sched/cputime: Guarantee stime + utime == rtime")
