sched/cputime: Fix steal time accounting vs. CPU hotplug

Browse source 
On CPU hotplug the steal time accounting can keep a stale rq->prev_steal_time
value over CPU down and up. So after the CPU comes up again the delta
calculation in steal_account_process_tick() wreckages itself due to the
unsigned math:

	 u64 steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id());

	 steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time;

So if steal is smaller than rq->prev_steal_time we end up with an insane large
value which then gets added to rq->prev_steal_time, resulting in a permanent
wreckage of the accounting. As a consequence the per CPU stats in /proc/stat
become stale.

Nice trick to tell the world how idle the system is (100%) while the CPU is
100% busy running tasks. Though we prefer realistic numbers.

None of the accounting values which use a previous value to account for
fractions is reset at CPU hotplug time. update_rq_clock_task() has a sanity
check for prev_irq_time and prev_steal_time_rq, but that sanity check solely
deals with clock warps and limits the /proc/stat visible wreckage. The
prev_time values are still wrong.

Solution is simple: Reset rq->prev_*_time when the CPU is plugged in again.
