Subject: [PATCH 5/7] sched: eliminate the ts->idle_lastupdate field

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] sched: eliminate the ts->idle_lastupdate field

Now that the only user of ts->idle_lastupdate is update_ts_time_stats(),
the entire field can be eliminated.

In update_ts_time_stats(), idle_lastupdate is first set to "now",
and a few lines later, the only user is an if() statement that
assigns a variable either to "now" or to ts->idle_lastupdate,
which has the value of "now" at that point.
