Subject: timekeeping: Increment clock_was_set_seq in timekeeping_init()

From: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]>

commit 56fd16cabac9cd8f15e2902898a9d0cc96e2fa70 upstream.

timekeeping_init() can set the wall time offset, so we need to increment the clock_was_set_seq counter. That way hrtimers will pick up the early offset immediately. Otherwise on a machine which does not set wall time later in the boot process the hrtimer offset is stale at 0 and wall time timers are going to expire with a delay of 45 years.
