ntp: Remove invalid cast in time offset math

Due to an unsigned cast, adjtimex() returns the wrong offest when using ADJ_MICRO and the offset is negative. In this case a small negative offset returns approximately 4.29 seconds (~ 2^32/1000 milliseconds) due to the unsigned cast of the negative offset.

Remove the cast and restore the signed division to cure that issue.
