Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 111/293] kselftests: timers: Fix
 inconsistency-check to not ignore first timestamp

From: Miroslav Lichvar <mlichvar@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 7a5de5512296fd2ab7a497e4a576196b1f046e78 ]

When the first timestamp in the list of clock readings was later than
the second timestamp and all other timestamps were in order, the
inconsistency was not reported because the index of the out-of-order
timestamp was equal to the default value.
