I think its better to leave it as false, so we don't reset the NTP state
machine completely after suspend.

When we come back from suspend our error is usually off by the
persistent_clock/rtc granularity, so it might make sense, but I'd want a
lot more testing of using ntp over suspend before changing the existing
behavior of not doing it.

Ok. Thanks for spinning this up so quickly. I'll go ahead and send it on
to Linus.
