Subject: [PATCH] sched/cputime: code refactoring in cputime_adjust()

Value assigned to variable utime at line 619:utime = rtime;
is overwritten at line 642:utime = rtime - stime; before it
can be used. This makes such variable assignment useless.

Remove this variable assignment and refactor the code related.
