Subject: sched/cputime: Always set tsk->vtime_snap_whence after accounting vtime

From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

commit 9fa57cf5a5c4aed1e45879b335fe433048709327 upstream.

Even though it doesn't have functional consequences, setting
the task's new context state after we actually accounted the pending
vtime from the old context state makes more sense from a review
perspective.

vtime_user_exit() is the only function that doesn't follow that rule
and that can bug the reviewer for a little while until he realizes there
is no reason for this special case.
