Kosaki, I would tend to say that what you propose is exact. After having
added the task deltas I was puzzled to see the cputimer still moving
faster than the process clock. I was seeing it with the the help of
printk statement inside update_gt_cputime().

After nailing down the last remaining cause of that inside sched/core.c,
I have never seen after the cputimer being in advance.
