4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ 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.
