If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: John Stultz commit bf2ac312195155511a0f79325515cbb61929898a upstream. If update_wall_time() is called and the current offset isn't large enough to accumulate, avoid re-calling timekeeping_adjust which may change the clock freq and can cause 1ns inconsistencies with CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE/CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE.
