Below is a patch which just has the required data in the right place
and the changes to ktime_get_update_offsets_now().

It's simpler than your version as:

    - there is no requirement to do the add in the first place as we
      know the monotonic time at which the leap second happens.

    - we can precalculate the leap adjusted offset and just replace
      the non adjusted offset for the window.

When the whole thing is over you just need to increment the
clock_was_set_seq counter so the next timer interrupt will cache the
normal values again.

Thanks,
