Mike reports:

 Roughly 10% of the time, ltp testcase getrusage04 fails:
 getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  Expected timers granularity is 4000 us
 getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  Using 1 as multiply factor for max [us]time increment (1000+4000us)!
 getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  utime:           0us; stime:         179us
 getrusage04    0  TINFO  :  utime:        3751us; stime:           0us
 getrusage04    1  TFAIL  :  getrusage04.c:133: stime increased > 5000us:

And tracked it down to the case where the task simply doesn't get
_any_ [us]time ticks.

Update the code to assume all rtime is utime when we lack information,
thus ensuring a task that elides the tick gets time accounted.
