[RFC PATCH ghak10 v4 2/2] timekeeping/ntp: Audit clock/NTP params adjustments

This patch adds logging of all attempts to either inject an offset into
the clock (producing an AUDIT_TIME_INJOFFSET record) or adjust an NTP
parameter (producing an AUDIT_TIME_ADJNTPVAL record).

For reference, running the following commands:

    auditctl -D
    auditctl -a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S adjtimex
    chronyd -q

produces audit records like this:

The chronyd command that produced the above records executed the
following adjtimex(2) syscalls (as per strace output):

(The struct timex fields above are from *after* the syscall was
executed, so they contain the current (new) values as set from the
kernel, except of the 'modes' field, which contains the original value
sent by the caller.)

Note that the records are emitted even when the actual value does not
change (i.e. when there is an explicit attempt to change a value, but
the new value equals the old one).
