Subject: [PATCH v3] time: Fix incorrect sleeptime injection when suspend fails

Currently, there exists a corner case assuming when there is
only one clocksource e.g RTC, and system failed to go to
suspend mode. While resume rtc_resume() injects the sleeptime
as timekeeping_rtc_skipresume() returned 'false' (default value
of sleeptime_injected) due to which we can see mismatch in
timestamps.

This issue can also come in a system where more than one
clocksource are present and very first suspend fails.

Fix this by handling `sleeptime_injected` flag properly.

Success case:
------------
                                        {sleeptime_injected=false}
rtc_suspend() => timekeeping_suspend() => timekeeping_resume() =>

(sleeptime injected)
 rtc_resume()

Failure case:
------------
         {failure in sleep path} {sleeptime_injected=false}
rtc_suspend()     =>          rtc_resume()

sleeptime injected again which was not required as the suspend failed)

Changes in v3:
 * Updated commit subject and description.
 * Updated the patch as per the fix given by Thomas Gleixner.

Changes in v2:
 * Updated the commit text.
 * Removed extra variable and used the earlier static
   variable 'sleeptime_injected'.
