[PATCH 17/33] sched: Update clock of nohz busiest rq before balancing

[Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>]

move_tasks() and active_load_balance_cpu_stop() both need
to have the busiest rq clock uptodate because they may end
up calling can_migrate_task() that uses rq->clock_task
to determine if the task running in the busiest runqueue
is cache hot.

Hence if the busiest runqueue is tickless, update its clock
before reading it.
