[PATCH 2.6.12-rc2]: ppc32: Fix a problem with NTP on !(chrp||gemini)

[Tom Rini]

The following problem was found by Giovambattista Pulcini
<gpulcini at swintel.it>, who also provided a partial patch, and this has
been verified by our time guru Gabriel Paubert <paubert at iram.es>.

The problem is that in do_settimeofday() we always set time_state to
TIME_ERROR and except on two platforms, never re-set it.  This meant
that ntp_gettime() and ntp_adjtime() always returned TIME_ERROR,
incorrectly.  Based on Gabriel's analysis, time_state is used for
leap-second processing, and ppc shouldn't be mucking with it.
