sched/fair: Increase PELT accuracy for small tasks

We truncate (and loose) the lower 10 bits of runtime in
___update_load_avg(), this means there's a consistent bias to
under-account tasks. This is esp. significant for small tasks.

Cure this by only forwarding last_update_time to the point we've
actually accounted for, leaving the remainder for the next time.
