Hi, Ingo,

How about this?


Changelog
1. As per Ingo Molnar's recommendation, use rq->clock instead of sched_clock().


Fix the delay accounting regression introduced by commit
75d4ef16a6aa84f708188bada182315f80aab6fa. rq no longer has sched_info
data associated with it. task_struct sched_info structure is used by delay
accounting to provide back statistics to user space.
