hwclock: do not create a zero adjfile
When hwclock --hctosys is started very early during the system startup, with / still mounted read-only, and there was no /etc/adjtime file, hwclock fails creating a default adjfile full of zeroes, and prints an error message. I believe that such zero adjfile is not necessary, because it means exactly the same as no adjfile at all. The attached patch prevents creation of a zero adjfile, of course unless something gets changed (this never happens during a --hctosys). Signed-off-by: Alain Guibert <alguibert+ulng@free.fr>
