[ Upstream commit d29a20645d5e929aa7e8616f28e5d8e1c49263ec ]

While running rt-tests' pi_stress program I got the following splat:

rq->clock_update_flags < RQCF_ACT_SKIP
WARNING: CPU: 27 PID: 0 at kernel/sched/sched.h:960 assert_clock_updated.isra.38.part.39+0x13/0x20

We can get rid of it be the "traditional" means of adding an
update_rq_clock() call after acquiring the rq->lock in
do_sched_rt_period_timer().

The case for the RT task throttling (which this workload also hits)
can be ignored in that the skip_update call is actually bogus and
quite the contrary (the request bits are removed/reverted).

By setting RQCF_UPDATED we really don't care if the skip is happening
or not and will therefore make the assert_clock_updated() check happy.
