sched: Cleanup/optimize clock updates

Now that we no longer depend on the clock being updated prior to enqueueing
on migratory wakeup, we can clean up a bit, placing calls to update_rq_clock()
exactly where they are needed, ie on enqueue, dequeue and schedule events.

In the case of a freshly enqueued task immediately preempting, we can skip the
update during preemption, as the clock was just updated by the enqueue event.
We also save an unneeded call during a migratory wakeup by not updating the
previous runqueue, where update_curr() won't be invoked.
