[NTP 5/9] add time_adjust to tick length

From: zippel
Date: Wed Aug 09 2006 - 20:15:30 EST


This folds update_ntp_one_tick() into second_overflow() and adds
time_adjust to the tick length, this makes time_next_adjust unnecessary.
This slightly changes the adjtime() behaviour, instead of applying it to
the next tick, it's applied to the next second.
