From: Frederic Weisbecker Because we may update the execution time (sched_group_set_shares()-> update_cfs_shares()->reweight_entity()->update_curr()) before reweighting the entity after updating the group shares and this requires an uptodate version of the runqueue clock. Let's update it on the target CPU if it runs tickless because scheduler_tick() is not there to maintain it.
