Subject: [patch] sched/cputime: Fix NO_HZ_FULL getrusage() monotonicity
 regression

Hi Peter,

While running ltp, the fates decided it was time for me to encounter
the roughly 1 out of every 10 call failure below.  As much as I run
ltp, I'm a bit surprised that I (or anyone else) haven't met this
before, but then the fates are known to be a tad fickle.

getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  Expected timers granularity is 4000 us
getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  Using 1 as multiply factor for max [us]time increment (1000+4000us)!
getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  utime:           0us; stime:         179us
getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  utime:        3751us; stime:           0us
getrusage04    1  TFAIL  :  getrusage04.c:133: stime increased > 5000us:

When applying the full rtime to either stime or utime, do not overwrite
the previously tallied value.

Fixes: 9d7fb0427648 ("sched/cputime: Guarantee stime + utime == rtime")
