Subject: [PATCH 19/23] vtime: Always scale generic vtime accounting results

The cputime accounting in full dynticks can be a subtle
mixup of CPUs using tick based accounting and others using
generic vtime.

As long as the tick can have a share on producing these stats, we
want to scale the result against CFS precise accounting as the tick
can miss some task hiding between the periodic interrupt.
