Again, please split that into:

1) Introduce the new function

2) Make use of it

Can you please avoid tail comments. They break the reading flow. Aside of
that I don't see the value of documenting the obvious.

Please line break the arguments

ktime_t do_timens_ktime_to_host(clockid_t clockid, ktime_t tim,
struct timens_offsets *ns_offsets)

Please be more elaborate why the below conditions can happen at all.
