[PATCH 3.11 042/121] timekeeping: Fix CLOCK_TAI timer/nanosleep delays

3.11.10.5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: John Stultz <john.stultz at linaro.org>

commit 04005f6011e3b504cd4d791d9769f7cb9a3b2eae upstream.

A think-o in the calculation of the monotonic -> tai time offset
results in CLOCK_TAI timers and nanosleeps to expire late (the
latency is ~2x the tai offset).

Fix this by adding the tai offset from the realtime offset instead
of subtracting.
