sched/cputime, powerpc32: Fix stale scaled stime on context switch
On context switch with powerpc32, the cputime is accumulated in the
thread_info struct. So the switching-in task must move forward its
start time snapshot to the current time in order to later compute the
delta spent in system mode.
This is what we do for the normal cputime by initializing the starttime
field to the value of the previous task's starttime which got freshly
updated.
But we are missing the update of the scaled cputime start time. As a
result we may be accounting too much scaled cputime later.
Fix this by initializing the scaled cputime the same way we do for
normal cputime.
