sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected
In try_to_wake_up(), we update the runqueue clock, but select_task_rq() may select a different runqueue than the one we updated, leaving the new runqueue's clock stale for a bit. This patch cures occasional huge latencies reported by latencytop when coming out of idle on a mostly idle NO_HZ box.
