timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the real timekeeper last The fix in d151832650ed9 (time: Move clock_was_set_seq update before updating shadow-timekeeper) was unfortunately incomplete. The main gist of that change was to do the shadow-copy update last, so that any state changes were properly duplicated, and we wouldn't accidentally have stale data in the shadow. Unfortunately in the main update_wall_time() logic, we update use the shadow-timekeeper to calculate the next update values, then while holding the lock, copy the shadow-timekeeper over, then call timekeeping_update() to do some additional bookkeeping, (skipping the shadow mirror). The bug with this is the additional bookkeeping isn't all read-only, and some changes timkeeper state. Thus we might then overwrite this state change on the next update. To avoid this problem, do the timekeeping_update() on the shadow-timekeeper prior to copying the full state over to the real-timekeeper. This avoids problems with both the clock_was_set_seq and next_leap_ktime being overwritten and possibly the fast-timekeepers as well. Many thanks to Prarit for his rigorous testing, which discovered this problem, along with Prarit and Daniel's work validating this fix.
