f1f1d5ebd10:
Introduce compat_sys_clock_adjtime

62a6fa97684:
rename compat_sys_clock_adjtime to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE2(clock_adjtime

3a4d44b6162:
move COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE2(clock_adjtime from kernel/compat.c to 
kernel/time/posix-timers.c

8dabe7245bb:
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE2(clock_adjtime, ..
-> SYSCALL_DEFINE2(clock_adjtime32, ..

The implement of clock_adjtime32 is similar to compat_sys_clock_adjtime. 
And I think f1f1d5ebd10 introduced the problem actually.
