posix-cpu-timers: Cure SMP wobbles

Browse Source 
David reported:

  Attached below is a watered-down version of rt/tst-cpuclock2.c from
  GLIBC.  Just build it with "gcc -o test test.c -lpthread -lrt" or
  similar.

  Run it several times, and you will see cases where the main thread
  will measure a process clock difference before and after the nanosleep
  which is smaller than the cpu-burner thread's individual thread clock
  difference.  This doesn't make any sense since the cpu-burner thread
  is part of the top-level process's thread group.

  I've reproduced this on both x86-64 and sparc64 (using both 32-bit and
  64-bit binaries).

  For example:

  [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ ./test
  process: before(0.001221967) after(0.498624371) diff(497402404)
  thread:  before(0.000081692) after(0.498316431) diff(498234739)
  self:    before(0.001223521) after(0.001240219) diff(16698)
  [davem@boricha build-x86_64-linux]$ 

  The diff of 'process' should always be >= the diff of 'thread'.

  I make sure to wrap the 'thread' clock measurements the most tightly
  around the nanosleep() call, and that the 'process' clock measurements
  are the outer-most ones.

This is due to us using p->se.sum_exec_runtime in
thread_group_cputime() where we iterate the thread group and sum all
data. This does not take time since the last schedule operation (tick
or otherwise) into account. We can cure this by using
task_sched_runtime() at the cost of having to take locks.

This also means we can (and must) do away with
thread_group_sched_runtime() since the modified thread_group_cputime()
is now more accurate and would deadlock when called from
thread_group_sched_runtime().

Aside of that it makes the function safe on 32 bit systems. The old
code added t->se.sum_exec_runtime unprotected. sum_exec_runtime is a
64bit value and could be changed on another cpu at the same time.
