6b43ae8a619d (ntp: Fix leap-second hrtimer livelock) sounds important,
but the patch depends on bd3312681f69 (ntp: Add ntp_lock to replace
xtime_locking) which does not have a commit message explaining its
purpose (and that patch in turn depends on ea7cf49a7633).

John, is that bug present in 3.2.y and 3.0.y, too?  Any hints for
fixing it?

Thanks,
Jonathan
