That's also broken because task_cputime() can be called from a different CPU than
where the target task is running on, even though there shouldn't be practical effect
as the clock must be stable but still the code would be confusing.

No I think you can still use sched_clock(), just make sure you also use it on
arch_vtime_task_switch() and vtime_init_idle().

Thanks.
