timekeeping: Fix timezone update 

commit 64ce4c2f (time: Clean up warp_clock()) breaks the timezone
update in a very subtle way. To avoid the direct access to timekeeping
internals it adds the timezone delta to the current time with
timespec_add_safe(). This works nicely when the timezone delta is > 0.
If timezone delta is < 0 then the wrap check in timespec_add_safe()
triggers and timespec_add_safe() returns TIME_MAX and screws up
timekeeping completely. 

The comment above timespec_add_safe() says:
    It's assumed that both values are valid (>= 0)

Add the timezone seconds adjustment directly.
