sched_clock: prevent scd->clock from moving backwards

Browse source 
When sched_clock_cpu() couples the clocks between two cpus, it may
increment scd->clock beyond the GTOD tick window that __update_sched_clock()
uses to clamp the clock.  A later call to __update_sched_clock() may move
the clock back to scd->tick_gtod + TICK_NSEC, violating the clock's
monotonic property.

This patch ensures that scd->clock will not be set backward.
