It's never assigned and declared on stack, so it will contain garbage
which will be eventually added to the rtc_adjust.tv_sec. Technically
the tv_nsec is long, so on 64 bit platform it may add up to 10^10
seconds to the result if we are unlucky and upper bits are set. On 32
bit there is not much room for error btw, up to 2 seconds since long is
only 4bytes there.
