[PATCH 26/32] nohz/cpuset: Flush cputime on threads in nohz cpusets when waiting leader

[Frederic Weisbecker]

When we wait for a zombie task, flush the cputimes on nohz cpusets
in case we are waiting for a group leader that has threads running
in nohz CPUs. This way thread_group_times() doesn't report stale
values.

<doubts>
If I understood well the code, by the time we call that thread_group_times(),
we may have childs that are still running, so this is necessary.
But I need to check deeper.
</doubts>
