Might be good to rename second_overflow() to ntp_second_overflow() and
drop passing the time_t as its now unused.

Doing this early doesn't run into any trouble with the tcx->modes rules,
right?

I'm just worried about changes in behavior if modes =
ADJ_ADJTIME|ADJ_STATUS

Mind renaming this to timekeeper_second_overflow, just so readers don't
mix it up with clocksource related overflows.
