sched_clock: record from last tick



The sched_clock code tries to keep within the gtod time by one tick (jiffy).
The current code mistakenly keeps track of the delta jiffies between
updates of the clock, where the the delta is used to compare with the
number of jiffies that have past since an update of the gtod. The gtod is
updated at each schedule tick not each sched_clock update. After one
jiffy passes the clock is updated fine. But the delta is taken from the
last update so if the next update happens before the next tick the delta
jiffies used will be incorrect.

This patch changes the code to check the delta of jiffies between ticks
and not updates to match the comparison of the updates with the gtod.
