sched: fix process time monotonicity
Spencer reported a problem where utime and stime were going negative despite
the fixes in commit b27f03d4bdc145a09fb7b0c0e004b29f1ee555fa. The suspected
reason for the problem is that signal_struct maintains it's own utime and
stime (of exited tasks), these are not updated using the new task_utime()
routine, hence sig->utime can go backwards and cause the same problem
to occur (sig->utime, adds tsk->utime and not task_utime()). This patch
fixes the problem
TODO: using max(task->prev_utime, derived utime) works for now, but a more
generic solution is to implement cputime_max() and use the cputime_gt()
function for comparison.
