Subject: [PATCH] timekeeping: avoid adjust kernel time once hwclock kept in
UTC time
If the Hardware Clock kept in local time,kernel will adjust the time
to be UTC time.But if Hardware Clock kept in UTC time,system will make
a dummy settimeofday call first (sys_tz.tz_minuteswest = 0) to make sure
the time is not shifted,so at this point I think maybe it is not necessary
to set the kernel time once the sys_tz.tz_minuteswest is zero.

Sorry for the long delay here, and thank you for the reminder!
I've merged this patch in my tree (reworking it to merge with other
changes in that area). And I'm likely to make a follow on patch that
will use timekeeping_inject_offset() so we don't add any extra time
error unnecessarily. Both will be queued for 3.10.
thanks
