time: add ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ

Browse source 
Michael Kerrisk reported that a long standing bug in the adjtimex()
system call causes glibc's adjtime(3) function to deliver the wrong
results if 'delta' is NULL.

add the ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ API detail, which will be used by glibc
to fix this API compatibility bug.

[ mingo@elte.hu: added patch description and made it backwards compatible ]

NOTE: the new flag is defined 0xa001 so that it returns -EINVAL on
older kernels - this way glibc can use it safely. Suggested by Ulrich
Drepper.
