John Stultz 96efdcf2d0 ntp: Do leapsecond adjustment in adjtimex read path 
Since the leapsecond is applied at tick-time, this means there is a
small window of time at the start of a leap-second where we cross into
the next second before applying the leap.

This patch modified adjtimex so that the leap-second is applied on the
second edge. Providing more correct leapsecond behavior.

This does make it so that adjtimex()'s returned time values can be
inconsistent with time values read from gettimeofday() or
clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME,...)  for a brief period of one tick at
the leapsecond.  However, those other interfaces do not provide the
TIME_OOP time_state return that adjtimex() provides, which allows the
leapsecond to be properly represented. They instead only see a time
discontinuity, and cannot tell the first 23:59:59 from the repeated
23:59:59 leap second.

This seems like a reasonable tradeoff given clock_gettime() /
gettimeofday() cannot properly represent a leapsecond, and users
likely care more about performance, while folks who are using
adjtimex() more likely care about leap-second correctness.
