[pve-devel] [PATCH kernel] Backport ntp clock_adjtime fix from 4.5

[Fabian Grünbichler]

this broke NTP synchronization with systemd-timesyncd for
all time deltas where a jump was necessary (>= 0.4s).

Tested using nested Proxmox VE with "Use local time for RTC" option set.

+
+Recently, in commit 37cf4dc3370f I forgot to check if the timeval being passed
+was actually a timespec (as is signaled with ADJ_NANO).
+
+This resulted in that patch breaking ADJ_SETOFFSET users who set
+ADJ_NANO, by rejecting valid timespecs that were compared with
+valid timeval ranges.
+
+This patch addresses this by checking for the ADJ_NANO flag and
+using the timepsec check instead in that case.
