Subject: [PATCH 8/8] ntp: Remove ntp_lock, using the timekeeping locks to protect ntp state

In order to properly handle the NTP state in future changes to the
timekeeping lock management, this patch moves the management of
all of the ntp state under the timekeeping locks.

This allows us to remove the ntp_lock.
