Subject: [PATCH] net: macb: Fix ptp time adjustment for large negative delta

When delta passed to gem_ptp_adjtime is negative, the sign is
maintained in the ns_to_timespec64 conversion. Hence timespec_add
should be used directly. timespec_sub will just subtract the negative
value thus increasing the time difference.
