[PATCH] sched: Skip update_rq_clock() in enqueue_task() following right after dequeue_task()

[PATCH] sched: Skip update_rq_clock() in enqueue_task() following right after dequeue_task()

[Kirill Tkhai]

Add new flag ENQUEUE_NO_CLK to skip microscopic rq->clock update.

This update is less even than in places where skip_clock_update is used.
