This can fail if ntv.time.tv_usec is somewhere around 999999µs and the
process is scheduled before completing xclock_now().

It would be better to try again a few times.

If we want to avoid such error - maybe it would be better to convert
struct ntptimeval's struct timeval time member to struct timespec and
then use timespec_sub() to get the time difference.

Then this difference could be assessed in
support_timespec_check_in_range() with some allowed percentage
variation (like 10%).

That can be made race-free by calling xclock_now before and after
NTP_GETTIME_SYSCALL, and repeat if the result of the two xclock_now
calls do not agree.
