ntp: fix non privileged system time shifting 

The ADJ_SETOFFSET bit added in commit 094aa188 ("ntp: Add ADJ_SETOFFSET
mode bit") also introduced a way for any user to change the system time.
Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set

    ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ | ADJ_SETOFFSET

which would result in a successful call to timekeeping_inject_offset().
This patch fixes the issue by adding the capability check.
