Stronger:

+#ifdef CONFIG_64BIT
+ if (!p->on_cpu)
+ return p->se.sum_exec_runtime;
+#endif

[ Or !p->on_cpu || !add_delta ].

We can take the racy read versus p->on_cpu since:
If we race with it leaving cpu: we take lock, we're correct
If we race with it entering cpu: unaccounted time ---> 0, this is
indistinguishable from the read occurring a few cycles earlier.
