Fix posix-cpu-timer breakage caused by stale p->last_ran value

Commit b18ec803 
    [PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracy
optimized the scheduler time calculations, but broke posix-cpu-timers.

The problem is that the p->last_ran value is not updated after a context
switch. So a subsequent call to current_sched_time() calculates with a
stale p->last_ran value, i.e. accounts the full time, which the task was
scheduled away.
