ntp: fix ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ bug and do_adjtimex() cleanup
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Thanks to the review by Michael Kerrisk a bug in the recent
ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ option was discovered, where the ntp time_offset was
inadvertently set by it.  This fixes this by making the adjtime code
more separate from the ntp_adjtime code (both of which really want to
be separate syscalls).
