Subject: [PATCH 5.3 39/48] ntp/y2038: Remove incorrect time_t truncation

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

commit 2f5841349df281ecf8f81cc82d869b8476f0db0b upstream.

A cast to 'time_t' was accidentally left in place during the
conversion of __do_adjtimex() to 64-bit timestamps, so the
resulting value is incorrectly truncated.

Remove the cast so the 64-bit time gets propagated correctly.

Fixes: ead25417f82e ("timex: use __kernel_timex internally")
