sched/cputime: Clarify vtime symbols and document them

VTIME_SLEEPING state happens either when:

1) The task is sleeping and no tickless delta is to be added on the task
   cputime stats.
2) The CPU isn't running vtime at all, so the same properties of 1) applies.

Lets rename the vtime symbol to reflect both states.
