[PARISC] Fix do_gettimeofday() hang

Apparently gettimeoffset can return small negative values (usually in
the 100us range).  If xtime.tv_nsec is accidentally less than this,
though (a fortunately unlikely event) it triggers the loop forever.

I've added a test and correct adjustment for this case.  It has a
warning printk in there which I'd like to leave for the time being
just in case this problem implicates some other part of the kernel.
