vtime: Fix racy cputime delta update
get_vtime_delta() must be called under the task vtime_seqlock with the code that does the cputime accounting flush. Otherwise the cputime reader can be fooled and run into a race where it sees the snapshot update but misses the cputime flush. As a result it can report a cputime that is way too short. Fix vtime_account_user() that wasn't complying to that rule. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.
