Previous version calculated rt_clock_base incorrectly by subtracting
clock_gettime from the specified time. Effectively the following
formula was used.
rt_clock_base := new_time - clock_gettime()
This is clearly incorrect when we consider what should happen if we
call clock_settime with the result of clock_gettime. It ought to be
approximately a no-op, but instead we end up zeroing the clock.
rt_clock_base := clock_gettime() - clock_gettime() = 0
This patch fixes clock_settime by instead using k_uptime_get to
calculate rt_clock_base, like so:
rt_clock_base := new_time - k_uptime_get()
Trying the earlier thought experiment we get:
rt_clock_base := clock_gettime() - k_uptime_get()
Using the definition of clock_gettime this expands to:
rt_clock_base := (rt_clock_base + k_uptime_get()) - k_uptime_get()
The two k_uptime_get() terms cancel out, leaving:
rt_clock_base := rt_clock_base
I.e. the no-op that we expect when calling clock_settime with
the result of clock_gettime.
Note: The bug is only observable when rt_clock_base is non-zero.
So when clock_settime is called for the first time, it will appear
to work correctly since rt_clock_base is initialized to 0.
