sched/cputime: Drop now-stale mul_u64_u64_div_u64() over-approximation guard
Commit 77baa5bafcbe ("sched/cputime: Fix mul_u64_u64_div_u64() precision for cputime") added a clamp in cputime_adjust(): if (unlikely(stime > rtime)) stime = rtime; The justification was that mul_u64_u64_div_u64() could over-approximate on some architectures (notably arm64 and the old 32-bit fallback), so the mathematically impossible stime > rtime was nevertheless reachable and would underflow utime = rtime - stime. That premise no longer holds. Commit b29a62d87cc0 ("mul_u64_u64_div_u64: make it precise always") replaced the fallback implementation with an exact 128-bit long division, and the x86_64 inline asm already produced exact results. The helper now returns the mathematically correct floor(a*b/d) on every architecture, so stime <= rtime is guaranteed by stime <= stime + utime and the clamp is dead code. Remove it along with its stale comment.
