Recently, in commit 37cf4dc3370f
("time: Verify time values in adjtimex ADJ_SETOFFSET to avoid overflow")
I forgot to check if the timeval being passed was actually a
timespec (as is signaled with ADJ_NANO).

This resulted in that patch breaking ADJ_SETOFFSET users who set
ADJ_NANO, by rejecting valid timespecs that were compared with
valid timeval ranges.

This patch addresses this by checking for the ADJ_NANO flag and
using the timepsec check instead in that case.
