[PATCH] timekeeping: Another fix to the VSYSCALL_OLD update_vsyscall

From: John Stultz
Date: Tue Aug 12 2014 - 11:52:51 EST


Benjamin Herrenschmidt pointed out that I firuther missed
modifying update_vsyscall after the wall_to_mono value was
changed to a timespec64. This causes issues on powerpc32,
which expects a 32bit timespec.

This patch fixes the problem my properly converting from
a timespec64 to a timespec before passing the value on to
the arch-specific vsyscall logic.
