time: Fix sign bug in NTP mult overflow warning
In commit 6067dc5a8c2b ("time: Avoid possible NTP adjustment mult overflow") a new check was added to watch for adjustments that could cause a mult overflow. Unfortunately the check compares a signed with unsigned value and ignored the case where the adjustment was negative, which causes spurious warn-ons on some systems (and seems like it would result in problematic time adjustments there as well, due to the early return). Thus this patch adds a check to make sure the adjustment is positive before we check for an overflow, and resovles the issue in my testing.
