-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com>

upstream commit: c5f8d99585d7b5b7e857fabf8aefd0174903a98c

Impact: Regression fix (against clock_gettime() backwarding bug)

This patch re-introduces a couple of functions, task_sched_runtime
and thread_group_sched_runtime, which was once removed at the
time of 2.6.28-rc1.

These functions protect the sampling of thread/process clock with
rq lock. This rq lock is required not to update rq->clock during
the sampling.

i.e.
The clock_gettime() may return
((accounted runtime before update) + (delta after update))
that is less than what it should be.

v2 -> v3:
- Rename static helper function __task_delta_exec()
to do_task_delta_exec() since -tip tree already has
a __task_delta_exec() of different version.

v1 -> v2:
- Revises comments of function and patch description.
- Add note about accuracy of thread group's runtime.
