[PATCH] steal_account_process_tick() should return jiffies

[Chris Friesen]

The callers of steal_account_process_tick() expect it to return whether
the last jiffy was stolen or not.
    
Currently the return value of steal_account_process_tick() is in units
of cputime, which vary between either jiffies or nsecs depending on
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN.
    
The fix is to change steal_account_process_tick() to always return
jiffies.  If CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN is not enabled then this
is a no-op.

As far as I can tell this bug has been present since commit dee08a72.
