[PATCH 2/2] sched: Fix "divide error: 0000" in find_busiest_group

From: Terry Loftin
Date: Tue Jul 19 2011 - 16:58:43 EST


Add a check to sched_avg_update() to detect and reset age_stamp if the
clock value has wrapped. Because __cycles_2_ns() includes an offset
to account for start up time, the clock may not wrap to zero, so use
the current clock value instead.
