time: Make settimeofday error checking work again
In commit 86d3473224b0 some of the checking for a valid timeval was subtley changed which caused -EINVAL to be returned whenever the timeval was null. However, it is possible to set the timezone data while specifying a NULL timeval, which is usually done to handle systems where the RTC keeps local time instead of UTC. Thus the patch causes such systems to have the time incorrectly set. This patch addresses the issue by handling the error conditionals in the same way as was done previously.
