At least I can explain this part of the change.  There were technically
two changes in that commit. They got merged into one and the comment
doesn't reflect that.

If you don't set the _Thread_Time_of_last_context_switch, then the
statistics for rate monotonic periods are not completely right. You
need to account for how long the current task has been running.
