sched: Fix cross-cpu clock sync on remote wakeups
Markus reported that commit 317f3941 ("sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu") caused some accounting funnies on his AMD Phenom II X4, such as weird 'top' results. It turns out that this is due to non-synced TSC and the queued remote wakeups stopped coupeling the two relevant cpu clocks, which leads to wakeups seeing time jumps, which in turn lead to skewed runtime stats. Add an explicit call to sched_clock_cpu() to couple the per-cpu clocks to restore the normal flow of time.
