[PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracy

Co-opt rq->timestamp_last_tick to maintain a cache_hot_time evaluation
reference timestamp at both tick and sched times to prevent said reference,
formerly rq->timestamp_last_tick, from being behind task->last_ran at
evaluation time, and to move said reference closer to current time on the
remote processor, intent being to improve cache hot evaluation and
timestamp adjustment accuracy for task migration.

Fix minor sched_time double accounting error which occurs when a task
passing through schedule() does not schedule off, and takes the next timer
tick.
