Currently we calculate the first timeslice for every context
incorrectly - alloc_spu_context calls spu_set_timeslice before we set
ctx->prio so we always calculate the longest possible timeslice for the
lowest possible priority.

This patch makes sure to update the schedule-related fields before
calculating the timeslice and also makes sure we update the timeslice for
a non-running context when entering spu_run so a priority change affects
the context as soon as possible.
