sched: Move periodic share updates to entity_tick()
Long running entities that do not block (dequeue) require periodic updates to maintain accurate share values. (Note: group entities with several threads are quite likely to be non-blocking in many circumstances). By virtue of being long-running however, we will see entity ticks (otherwise the required update occurs in dequeue/put and we are done). Thus we can move the detection (and associated work) for these updates into the periodic path. This restores the 'atomicity' of update_curr() with respect to accounting.
