2016-03-06: Integration with EAS/refactoring by Vikram Mulukutla
            and Todd Kjos

Change-Id: I21408236836625d4e7d7de1843d20ed5ff36c708

Includes fixes for issues:

eas/walt: Use walt_ktime_clock() instead of ktime_get_ns() to avoid a
race resulting in watchdog resets
BUG: 29353986
Change-Id: Ic1820e22a136f7c7ebd6f42e15f14d470f6bbbdb

Handle walt accounting anomoly during resume

During resume, there is a corner case where on wakeup, a task's
prev_runnable_sum can go negative. This is a workaround that
fixes the condition and warns (instead of crashing).
