Subject: [PATCH 3.18 33/67] time: Always make sure wall_to_monotonic isnt positive

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Wang YanQing <udknight@...il.com>

commit e1d7ba8735551ed79c7a0463a042353574b96da3 upstream.

Two issues were found on an IMX6 development board without an
enabled RTC device(resulting in the boot time and monotonic
time being initialized to 0).

Issue 1:exportfs -a generate:
       "exportfs: /opt/nfs/arm does not support NFS export"
Issue 2:cat /proc/stat:
       "btime 4294967236"

The same issues can be reproduced on x86 after running the
following code:
	int main(void)
	{
	    struct timeval val;
	    int ret;

	    val.tv_sec = 0;
	    val.tv_usec = 0;
	    ret = settimeofday(&val, NULL);
	    return 0;
	}

Two issues are different symptoms of same problem:
The reason is a positive wall_to_monotonic pushes boot time back
to the time before Epoch, and getboottime will return negative
value.

In symptom 1:
          negative boot time cause get_expiry() to overflow time_t
          when input expire time is 2147483647, then cache_flush()
          always clears entries just added in ip_map_parse.
In symptom 2:
          show_stat() uses "unsigned long" to print negative btime
          value returned by getboottime.

This patch fix the problem by prohibiting time from being set to a value which
would cause a negative boot time. As a result one can't set the CLOCK_REALTIME
time prior to (1970 + system uptime).
