Yea. With CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING we take the seqlock again, so that
placement of __getnstimeofday64_preleap() - which didn't have the
external lock - inside the timekeeping lock was wrong.

I actually deleted that WIP branch last week, and reworked versions of
the patches (which shouldn't have this issue) have been included in
tip/timers/core.  I still very much appreciate the extra testing being
done on my tree!

thanks
