So I did update this to simply add update_rq_clock() before the
dequeue_entity(SLEEP|DELAYED). I initially had, these, then confused
myself between deactivate_task() and dequeue_entity(), where the former
updates the clock but the latter does not, and removed them. Then Mike
complained, and I restored it for the regular exit path and forgot the
cgroup exit path.

But now they should both be doing update_rq_clock() here.

Since this is all with our own rq->lock held, I don't think skip would
be relevant here.
