sched, timer: Use the atomic task_cputime in thread_group_cputimer



Recent optimizations were made to thread_group_cputimer to improve its
scalability by keeping track of cputime stats without a lock. However,
the values were open coded to the structure, causing them to be at
a different abstraction level from the regular task_cputime structure.
Furthermore, any subsequent similar optimizations would not be able to
share the new code, since they are specific to thread_group_cputimer.

This patch adds the new task_cputime_atomic data structure (introduced in
the previous patch in the series) to thread_group_cputimer for keeping
track of the cputime atomically, which also helps generalize the code.
