[PATCH -tip] timekeeping: fix getboottime() sets invalid value

[Hiroshi Shimamoto]

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com>

Don't use timespec_add_safe() with wall_to_monotonic, because wall_to_monotonic
has negative values which will cause overflow in timespec_add_safe().
That makes btime in /proc/stat invalid.

timekeeping: Fix invalid getboottime() value

Don't use timespec_add_safe() with wall_to_monotonic, because
wall_to_monotonic has negative values which will cause overflow
in timespec_add_safe(). That makes btime in /proc/stat invalid.
