Subject: [PATCH] fix granularity of task_u/stime(), v2

Originally task_s/utime() were designed to return clock_t but later
changed to return cputime_t by following commit:

  commit efe567fc8281661524ffa75477a7c4ca9b466c63
  Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@...ibm.com>
  Date:   Thu Aug 23 15:18:02 2007 +0200

It only changed the type of return value, but not the implementation.
As the result the granularity of task_s/utime() is still that of
clock_t, not that of cputime_t.

So using task_s/utime() in __exit_signal() makes values accumulated
to the signal struct to be rounded and coarse grained.

This patch removes casts to clock_t in task_u/stime(), to keep
granularity of cputime_t over the calculation.

v2:
  Use div_u64() to avoid error "undefined reference to `__udivdi3`"
  on some 32bit systems.
