hwclock: fix for glibc 2.31 settimeofday()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
glibc announce:
  ... settimeofday can no longer be used to set the time and the offset
  simultaneously. If both of its two arguments are non-null, the call
  will fail (setting errno to EINVAL).

It means we need to call settimeofday(NULL, tz) and settimeofday(tv, NULL).

Unfortunately, settimeofday(NULL, tz) has very special warp-clock
semantic if used as the very first settimeofday() call. It means we
have to be sure that we do not touch warp-clock if we need only need
to modify system TZ. So, let's always call settimeofday(NULL, 0)
before settimeofday(NULL, tz) for UTC rtc mode when modify system TZ.
