[Bug 1870316] [NEW] 'sudo hwclock -s' fails with 'settimeofday() failed: Invalid argument'

[Rik Mills]

Public bug reported:

In Focal VM.
util-linux: 2.34-0.1ubuntu8

$ sudo hwclock -s
[sudo] password for focal: 
hwclock: settimeofday() failed: Invalid argument

Result should be syncing the time to the RTC, which until recently
(possibly before glibc update) worked.
