Subject: [PATCH] kselftests: timers: Fix inconsistency-check to not ignore first timestamp

When the first timestamp in the list of clock readings was later than
the second timestamp and all other timestamps were in order, the
inconsistency was not reported because the index of the out-of-order
timestamp was equal to the default value.
