ntp: improve adjtimex frequency rounding
Change PPM_SCALE_INV_SHIFT so that it doesn't throw away any input bits (19 is the amount of the factor 2 in PPM_SCALE), the output frequency can then be calculated back to its input value, as the inverse divide produce a slightly larger value, which is then correctly rounded by the final shift.
