[PATCH v6 7/7] ptp: ptp_vmclock: return TAI not UTC

[Takahiro Itazuri <itazur@amazon.com>]

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

To output UTC would involve complex calculations about whether the time
elapsed since the reference time has crossed the end of the month when
a leap second takes effect. I've prototyped that, but it made me sad.

Much better to report TAI, which is what PHCs should do anyway.
And much much simpler.
