	There is no need to keep timers tests in sync with external timers repo. Drop support for !KTEST to support for building and running timers tests without kselftest framework.

2015-10-12	timers, kselftest: Add 'adjtick' test to validate adjtimex() tick adjustments	John Stultz	1	-0/+221
	Recently a kernel side NTP bug was fixed via the following commit: 2619d7e9c92d ("time: Fix timekeeping_freqadjust()'s incorrect use of abs() instead of abs64()") When the bug was reported it was difficult to detect, except by tweaking the adjtimex tick value, and noticing how quickly the adjustment took: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/1/488 Thus this patch introduces a new test which manipulates the adjtimex tick value and validates that the results are what we expect.
