[PATCH v2 23/25] timekeeping: Rework do_adjtimex() to use shadow_timekeeper

[Anna-Maria Behnsen]

From: Anna-Maria Behnsen <anna-maria@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Updates of the timekeeper can be done by operating on the shadow timekeeper
and afterwards copying the result into the real timekeeper. This has the
advantage, that the sequence count write protected region is kept as small
as possible.

Convert do_adjtimex() to use this scheme and take the opportunity to use a
scoped_guard() for locking.

That requires to have a separate function for updating the leap state so
that the update is protected by the sequence count. This also brings the
timekeeper and the shadow timekeeper in sync for this state, which was not
the case so far. That's not a correctness problem as the state is only used
at the read sides which use the real timekeeper, but it's inconsistent
nevertheless.
