sched: Avoid prev->stime underflow
Dave Hansen reported strange utime/stime values on his system: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/4/435 This happens because prev->stime value is bigger than rtime value. Root of the problem are non-monotonic rtime values (i.e. current rtime is smaller than previous rtime) and that should be debugged and fixed. But since problem did not manifest itself before commit 62188451f0d63add7ad0cd2a1ae269d600c1663d "cputime: Avoid multiplication overflow on utime scaling", it should be threated as regression, which we can easily fixed on cputime_adjust() function. For now, let's apply this fix, but further work is needed to fix root of the problem.
