Public bug reported:

I've hit a bug present in 3.2.0-37 that causes my KVM virtual machines
to lockup on occasion, possibly related to this this change in 3.2.0-32


* time: Avoid making adjustments if we haven't accumulated anything
    - LP: #1053039


I believe there is already an upstream  fix to this patch that I believe
resolves my issue.


I'd like to request that this patch be included in precise.

time: Fix adjustment cleanup bug in timekeeping_adjust()

Tetsuo Handa reported that sporadically the system clock starts
counting up too quickly which is enough to confuse the hangcheck
timer to print a bogus stall warning.

Commit 2a8c0883 "time: Move xtime_nsec adjustment underflow handling
timekeeping_adjust" overlooked this exit path:

        } else
                return;

which should really be a proper exit sequence, fixing the bug as a
side effect.

Also make the flow more readable by properly balancing curly
braces.
