timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the real timekeeper last 

The fix in d151832650 (time: Move clock_was_set_seq update
before updating shadow-timekeeper) was unfortunately incomplete.

The main gist of that change was to do the shadow-copy update
last, so that any state changes were properly duplicated, and
we wouldn't accidentally have stale data in the shadow.

Unfortunately in the main update_wall_time() logic, we update
use the shadow-timekeeper to calculate the next update values,
then while holding the lock, copy the shadow-timekeeper over,
then call timekeeping_update() to do some additional
bookkeeping, (skipping the shadow mirror). The bug with this is
the additional bookkeeping isn't all read-only, and some
changes timkeeper state. Thus we might then overwrite this state
change on the next update.

To avoid this problem, do the timekeeping_update() on the
shadow-timekeeper prior to copying the full state over to
the real-timekeeper.

This avoids problems with both the clock_was_set_seq and
next_leap_ktime being overwritten and possibly the
fast-timekeepers as well.

Many thanks to Prarit for his rigorous testing, which discovered
this problem, along with Prarit and Daniel's work validating this
fix.
