Pull time keeping fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Fix a couple of issues in the NTP code where user supplied values are
   neither sanity checked nor clamped to the operating range. This
   results in integer overflows and eventualy NTP getting out of sync.

   According to the history the sanity checks had been removed in favor
   of clamping the values, but the clamping never worked correctly under
   all circumstances. The NTP people asked to not bring the sanity
   checks back as it might break existing applications.

   Make the clamping work correctly and add it where it's missing

 - If adjtimex() sets the clock it has to trigger the hrtimer subsystem
   so it can adjust and if the clock was set into the future expire
   timers if needed. The caller should provide a bitmask to tell
   hrtimers which clocks have been adjusted.

   adjtimex() uses not the proper constant and uses CLOCK_REALTIME
   instead, which is 0. So hrtimers adjusts only the clocks, but does
   not check for expired timers, which might make them expire really
   late. Use the proper bitmask constant instead.
