sched: Do not account bogus utime
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.
