The alternative is obviously to do the subtraction in
tg_throttle_down(), were we set ->throttled_clock_task.

64660c864f46 ("sched: Prevent interactions with throttled entities")

Introduced it, because at that time it was about updating shares, which
is only present on SMP. Then:

f1b17280efbd ("sched: Maintain runnable averages across throttled periods")

Added the clock thing inside it, and:

82958366cfea ("sched: Replace update_shares weight distribution with per-entity computation")

took out the shares update and left the clock update, resulting in the
current code.
