sched/cputime: Guarantee stime + utime == rtime
While the current code guarantees monotonicity for stime and utime
independently of one another, it does not guarantee that the sum of
both is equal to the total time we started out with.
This confuses things (and peoples) who look at this sum, like top, and
will report >100% usage followed by a matching period of 0%.
Rework the code to provide both individual monotonicity and a coherent
sum.
