[PATCH] [man-pages] adjtimex.2: document clock_adjtime

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd-r2nGTMty4D4@public.gmane.org>]

I was experimenting with some possible changes to adjtimex(2) and
clock_adjtime(2) and tried to look up the man page to see what the
documented behavior is when I noticed that clock_adjtime() appears
to be the only system call that is currently undocumented.

Before I do any changes to it, this tries to document what I
understand it currently does.

This is my first patch to man-pages, I'm just guessing about
what should be in there and how to format it, please reword
or reformat as necessary.
