Subject: [PATCH v2] sched: fix user time incorrectly accounted as system time
 on 32 bit

We have 32 bit variable overflow possibility when multiply in
task_times() and thread_group_times() functions. If overflow happens
calculated scaled utime value become wrongly small and scaled stime
wrongly big.
