    "s390: Use direct ktime path for s390 clockevent device" makes use
    of the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_KTIME clockevent option to avoid the delta
    calculation with ktime_get() in clockevents_program_event and the
    get_tod_clock() in s390_next_event. This is based on the assumption
    that the difference between the internal ktime and the hardware
    clock is reflected in the wall_to_monotonic delta. But this is not
    true, the ntp corrections are applied via changes to the tk->mult
    multiplier and this is not reflected in wall_to_monotonic.
    
    In theory this could be solved by using the raw monotonic clock
    but it is simpler to switch back to the standard clock delta
    calculation.
