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.
