[PATCH 32/33] sched: Update rq clock before rt sched average scale

[Frederic Weisbecker]

When we restart the tick, we catch up with the CPU loads
statistics. But we also scale down the rt power. This
require an uptodate rq clock.

DISCLAIMER: I don't know if this is needed when we wake
up from idle. May be this is handled from the reader side
in scale_rt_power(). I have yet to understand exactly what
this function does.

Also scale_rt_power() also need to handle full tickless
CPUs when they run RT tasks. And also to remotely handle
the missing scaling down usually performed from the tick.
