Subject: [PATCH] posixtimers: Fix posix clock monotonicity

This patch rehires task_sched_runtime() and thread_group_sched_runtime()
which were removed at the time of 2.6.28-rc1.

These functions protect the sampling of clock with rq lock.
This rq lock is required not to update rq->clock during the sampling.
i.e. You may get ((banked runtime before update)+(delta after update)).
