timekeeping/ntp: Don't align NTP frequency adjustments to ticks
When the timekeeping multiplier is changed, the NTP error is updated to correct the clock for the delay between the tick and the update of the clock. This error is corrected in later updates and the clock appears as if the frequency was changed exactly on the tick. Remove this correction to keep the point where the frequency is effectively changed at the time of the update. This removes a major source of the NTP error.
