eas/walt: Use walt_ktime_clock() instead of ktime_get_ns() to avoid a

Handle walt accounting anomoly during resume

During resume, there is a corner case where on wakeup, a task's
prev_runnable_sum can go negative. This is a workaround that
fixes the condition and warns (instead of crashing).

This feature will allow the scheduler to maintain a tunable window
based set of metrics for tasks and runqueues. These metrics can be
used to guide task placement as well as task frequency requirements
for cpufreq governors.
