Initially this function was introduced to apply timens offsets in
do_timer_settime and there it is special and means that the timer should
be disarmed.
Now this functions is used in many other places and this check defenetly
sould not be here.

The idea was to collect all the logic about timens offsets in one place.
clock_timens_fixup() is used in all places where we need apply timens
offsets (clock_gettim, posix timers, clock_nanosleep, timerfd, uptime_proc_show).

clock_get() is called from clock_gettime and from common_timer_get(). In
common_timer_get(), we expect to get time in the root time namespace.
but I think we can handle this. For example, we can introduce a new flag
CLOCL_TIMENS and
kc->clock_get(which_clock | CLOCK_TIMENS, &tp) will return time in a
current time namespace.
kc->clock_get(which_clock, &tp) will return time in the root time
namespace.

Yes, we can do this. I like this idea. This will allow us to remove
timens_clock_to_host(), but I am not sure that we will be able to do
something similar with timens_clock_from_host, which is used to apply
offsets for timers. I need to look at the timer code again.
