Currently the scheduler does sanity checking on sched_clock and corrects
the values. Remove some of these checks to make steal time influence the
process time.
This patch is probably nothing for upstream but with this patch the
accouting for s390 seems to work regarding steal time, even without
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_TIME (as long as CONFIG_VIRT_TIMER is y).
