This is a reworked version of this patch based on the previous
clocksource_forward_now patch, since clocksource_forward_now() takes
care of the time offset now, it's not needed to do this at various places.
I also got rid of the monotonic_raw splitting, so the work done during
update_wall_time() is quite a bit simpler.
bye, Roman
