[PATCH 1/2][RFC] time: Introduce do_first_settimeofday()

[John Stultz]

There's some cases in the kernel, particuarly with RTC drivers,
where we want to set the time, but only if no one else has
already set it.

This is useful for systems where the RTC driver is a module, and
is loaded late in initialization. However, we want to be sure we
don't override the time that may have been set by userspace.
