Miroslav Lichvar e48a869957 timekeeping: Fix timex status validation for auxiliary clocks
The timekeeping_validate_timex() function validates the timex status
of an auxiliary system clock even when the status is not to be changed,
which causes unexpected errors for applications that make read-only
clock_adjtime() calls, or set some other timex fields, but without
clearing the status field.

Do the AUX-specific status validation only when the modes field contains
ADJ_STATUS, i.e. the application is actually trying to change the
status. This makes the AUX-specific clock_adjtime() behavior consistent
with CLOCK_REALTIME.

Fixes: 4eca49d0b6 ("timekeeping: Prepare do_adtimex() for auxiliary clocks")
