Subject: [PATCH] sched/cputime: Remove unnecessary assignment statement

The original code assigns the value from rtime to utime variable,
and then jumps to the update label. And the value of utime is then
updated, so the earlier value of utime is not used. Hence remove
that unnecessary assignment statement.

This fixes one of the coverity defects.

Based on work by Ishan Mittal <imittal@...dia.com>
