sched: Move periodic share updates to entity_tick()

Long running entities that do not block (dequeue) require periodic updates to
maintain accurate share values.  (Note: group entities with several threads are
quite likely to be non-blocking in many circumstances).

By virtue of being long-running however, we will see entity ticks (otherwise
the required update occurs in dequeue/put and we are done).  Thus we can move
the detection (and associated work) for these updates into the periodic path.

This restores the 'atomicity' of update_curr() with respect to accounting.
