In fact, it is quite useful a pice of information,
to know how long it is the "next time slice" a vCPU
has been granted. It allows one to assume (and then
check) when the scheduler is supposed to run next,
and other things.

While this information is indeed reported when a
context switch happens, it is not when the same vCPU
that is running, continues to run.

Fix that, with the following outcome.

Before this change:

 csched2:schedule cpu 9, rq# 1, idle, SMT idle, tickled
 csched2:runq_candidate d0v3, 0 vcpus skipped, cpu 9 was tickled
 sched_switch prev d32767v9, run for 991.186us
 sched_switch next d0v3, was runnable for 2.515us, next slice 10000.0us
 sched_switch prev d32767v9 next d0v3              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 runstate_change d32767v9 running->runnable
 ...
 csched2:schedule cpu 2, rq# 0, busy, not tickled
 csched2:burn_credits d1v5, credit = 9996950, delta = 502913
 csched2:runq_candidate d1v5, 0 vcpus skipped, no cpu was tickled
 runstate_continue d1v5 running->running
                                         ?????????????

That is, in the second block, it is shown that d1v5
was already running and will continue to do so,
but we have no idea for how long.

OTOH, after the change:

 csched2:schedule cpu 1, rq# 0, busy, not tickled
 csched2:burn_credits d0v8, credit = 9998645, delta = 12104
 csched2:runq_candidate d0v8, credit = 9998645, 0 vcpus skipped, no cpu was tickled
 sched_switch continue d0v8, run for 1125.820us, next slice 9998.645us
 runstate_continue d0v8 running->running         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
