Subject: [PATCH] sparc64: fix adjtimex regression

Anatoly Pugachev reported one of the y2038 patches to introduce
a fatal bug from a stupid typo:

[   96.384129] watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#8 stuck for 22s!

[   96.385866]  [0000000000406294] linux_sparc_syscall+0x34/0x44

Fix the code to dereference the correct pointer again.

The bug was introduced through my y2038 branch and is now in
mainline, but not in v5.5. Who should pick up the fix to
get it into v5.6-rc1?
