time: apply NTP frequency/tick changes immediately
Since the GENERIC_TIME changes landed, the adjtimex behavior changed
for struct timex.tick and .freq changed. When the tick or freq value
is set, we adjust the tick_length_base in ntp_update_frequency().
However, this new value doesn't get applied to tick_length until the
next second (via second_overflow).
This means some applications that do quick time tweaking do not see the
requested change made as quickly as expected.
I've run a few tests with this change, and ntpd still functions fine.
