Subject: [PATCH 13/27] sched: Update rq clock on nohz CPU before setting fair group shares

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.
