Can you explain in the commit message why it is missing?

For people not familiar with this code that isn't obvious.

Thanks, yes, I missed it the initialization of the spinlock.

Below is my ack.

Every spinlock must be initialized once (to SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED or by 
using spin_lock_init()). On most architectures SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is 
just zero, therefor  the kzalloc of the time_state does it (which likely 
is the case why I haven't spotted any error without the initialization), 
but that doesn't isn't true for all architectures.

Alexander
