Bharath Ravi d4abc238c9 sched, delay accounting: fix incorrect delay time when constantly waiting on runqueue
This patch corrects the incorrect value of per process run-queue wait
time reported by delay statistics. The anomaly was due to the following
reason. When a process leaves the CPU and immediately starts waiting for
CPU on the runqueue (which means it remains in the TASK_RUNNABLE state),
the time of re-entry into the run-queue is never recorded. Due to this,
the waiting time on the runqueue from this point of re-entry upto the
next time it hits the CPU is not accounted for. This is solved by
recording the time of re-entry of a process leaving the CPU in the
sched_info_depart() function IF the process will go back to waiting on
the run-queue. This IF condition is verified by checking whether the
process is still in the TASK_RUNNABLE state.

The patch was tested on 2.6.26-rc6 using two simple CPU hog programs.
The values noted prior to the fix did not account for the time spent on
the runqueue waiting. After the fix, the correct values were reported
back to user space.
