From: John Stultz <john.stultz@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit dd4e17ab704269bce71402285f5e8b9ac24b1eff ] Recently, in commit 37cf4dc3370f I forgot to check if the timeval being passed was actually a timespec (as is signaled with ADJ_NANO). This resulted in that patch breaking ADJ_SETOFFSET users who set ADJ_NANO, by rejecting valid timespecs that were compared with valid timeval ranges. This patch addresses this by checking for the ADJ_NANO flag and using the timepsec check instead in that case.
