From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

This is a backport of 3e997130bd2e8c6f5aaa49d6e3161d4d29b43ab0

The leap second rework unearthed another issue of inconsistent data.

On timekeeping_resume() the timekeeper data is updated, but nothing
calls timekeeping_update(), so now the update code in the timer
interrupt sees stale values.

This has been the case before those changes, but then the timer
interrupt was using stale data as well so this went unnoticed for quite
some time.

Add the missing update call, so all the data is consistent everywhere.
