[Bug 563618] Re: Ignoring a broken clock results in infinite reboots; not ignoring results in fsck failure; no solution to this problem

[Steve Langasek]

Have reviewed the change; should not impact boot performance or
reliability on systems not booting with 'fixrtc', installs to the
correct point in the boot sequence.  Still an ugly hack, but we already
knew that. :)  The only change I'm making is to drop the superfluous
call to hwclock --systohc -- we simply don't care about the value in the
hardware clock because we're not going to be reading from it at all
after this point, and writing this out delays the boot unnecessarily.
/etc/init/hwclock-save.conf will write it out for us on shutdown, for
all the good that does on the affected hardware.

Merged and uploading.
