[Bug 1888543] [NEW] hwclock: fails to set time on glibc 2.31

[Jakob Haufe]

Public bug reported:

With glibc 2.31, hwclock from busybox is unable to set the system time
due to the changes in settimeofday behavior.

The problem has been reported upstream in [1] which also contains a
patch.

hwclock from busybox is important as it's used on the Raspberry Pi to set the system
time when an RTC is present.

This bug applies to focal and groovy.
