perf sched: Fix for getting task's execution time

In current code, task's execute time is got by reading
'/proc/<pid>/sched' file, it's wrong if the task is created
by pthread_create(), because every thread task has same pid.

This way also has two demerits:

 1: 'perf sched replay' can't work if the kernel is not
    compiled with the 'CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG' option

 2: perf tool should depend on proc file system

So, this patch uses PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK to get task's
execution time instead of reading /proc file.

Changelog v2 -> v3:
use PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK instead of rusage() as Ingo's
suggestion
