4.9.115-rt94-rc1 stable review patch.
If you have any objection to the inclusion of this patch, let me know.

--- 8< --- 8< --- 8< ---
I've been looking at this in v3.10-RT where it got in. The patch
description says

|The ntp code for notify_cmos_timer() is called from a hard interrupt
|context.

I see only one caller of ntp_notify_cmos_timer() and that is
do_adjtimex() after "raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore()".
I see a few callers of do_adjtimex() which is SYS_adjtimex() (+compat)
and posix_clock_realtime_adj() which in turn is called by
SYS_clock_adjtime().

Reverting the patch.
