time: Move xtime_nsec adjustment underflow handling timekeeping_adjust
When we make adjustments speeding up the clock, its possible for xtime_nsec to underflow. We already handle this properly, but we do so from update_wall_time() instead of the more logical timekeeping_adjust(), where the possible underflow actually occurs. Thus, move the correction logic to the timekeeping_adjust, which is the function that causes the issue. Making update_wall_time() more readable.
