Thomas Gleixner 90e362f4a7 sched: Provide update_curr callbacks for stop/idle scheduling classes
Chris bisected a NULL pointer deference in task_sched_runtime() to
commit 6e998916df 'sched/cputime: Fix clock_nanosleep()/clock_gettime()
inconsistency'.

Chris observed crashes in atop or other /proc walking programs when he
started fork bombs on his machine.  He assumed that this is a new exit
race, but that does not make any sense when looking at that commit.

What's interesting is that, the commit provides update_curr callbacks
for all scheduling classes except stop_task and idle_task.

While nothing can ever hit that via the clock_nanosleep() and
clock_gettime() interfaces, which have been the target of the commit in
question, the author obviously forgot that there are other code paths
which invoke task_sched_runtime()

do_task_stat(()
 thread_group_cputime_adjusted()
   thread_group_cputime()
     task_cputime()
       task_sched_runtime()
        if (task_current(rq, p) && task_on_rq_queued(p)) {
          update_rq_clock(rq);
          up->sched_class->update_curr(rq);
        }

If the stats are read for a stomp machine task, aka 'migration/N' and
that task is current on its cpu, this will happily call the NULL pointer
of stop_task->update_curr.  Ooops.

Chris observation that this happens faster when he runs the fork bomb
makes sense as the fork bomb will kick migration threads more often so
the probability to hit the issue will increase.

Add the missing update_curr callbacks to the scheduler classes stop_task
and idle_task.  While idle tasks cannot be monitored via /proc we have
other means to hit the idle case.
