Subject: [PATCH] sched/vtime: Prevent unstable evaluation of WARN(vtime->state)

As the vtime is sampled under loose seqcount protection by kcpustat, the
vtime fields may change as the code flows. Where logic dictates a field
has a static value, use a READ_ONCE.

Fixes: 74722bb223d0 ("sched/vtime: Bring up complete kcpustat accessor")
