time: ntp: fix bug in ntp_update_offset() & do_adjtimex()
Impact: change (fix) the way the NTP PLL seconds offset is initialized/tracked
Fix a bug and do a micro-optimization:
When PLL is enabled we do not reset time_reftime. If the PLL
was off for a long time (for example after bootup), this is
arguably the wrong thing to do.
We already had a hack for the common boot-time case in
ntp_update_offset(), in form of:
if (unlikely(time_status & STA_FREQHOLD || time_reftime == 0))
secs = 0;
But the update delta should be reset later on too - not just when
the PLL is enabled for the first time after bootup.
So do it on !STA_PLL -> STA_PLL transitions.
This changes behavior, as previously if ntpd was disabled for
a long time and we restarted it, we'd run from that last update,
with a very large delta.
