ntp: Remove redundant and incorrect parameter check
The ADJ_SETOFFSET code redundantly checks the range of the nanoseconds
field of the time value. This field is checked again in the subsequent
call to timekeeping_inject_offset(). Also, as is, the check will not
detect whether the number of microseconds is out of range.
Let timekeeping_inject_offset() do the error checking.
