Paul Mackerras 0a45d4491d powerpc: Fix problem with time going backwards 
The recent changes to keep gettimeofday in sync with xtime had the side
effect that it was occasionally possible for the time reported by
gettimeofday to go back by a microsecond.  There were two reasons:
(1) when we recalculated the offsets used by gettimeofday every 2^31
timebase ticks, we lost an accumulated fractional microsecond, and
(2) because the update is done some time after the notional start of
jiffy, if ntp is slowing the clock, it is possible to see time go backwards
when the timebase factor gets reduced.

This fixes it by (a) slowing the gettimeofday clock by about 1us in
2^31 timebase ticks (a factor of less than 1 in 3.7 million), and (b)
adjusting the timebase offsets in the rare case that the gettimeofday
result could possibly go backwards (i.e. when ntp is slowing the clock
and the timer interrupt is late).  In this case the adjustment will
reduce to zero eventually because of (a).
