cputime: Use local_clock() for full dynticks cputime accounting

Running the full dynticks cputime accounting with preemptible
kernel debugging trigger the following warning:

We use sched_clock() to perform and fixup the cputime
accounting. However we are calling it with preemption enabled
from the read side, which trigger the bug above.

To fix this up, use local_clock() instead. It takes care of
preemption and also provide a more reliable clock source. This
is welcome for this kind of statistic that is widely relied on
in userspace.
