The bug fixed by commit e3fab2f3de081e98 ("ntp: Fix RTC synchronization
on 32-bit platforms") revealed an underlying issue: RTC synchronization
may happen anytime, even while the system is partially suspended.

On systems where the RTC is connected to an I2C bus, the I2C bus
controller may already or still be suspended, triggering a WARNING
during suspend or resume from s2ram:

    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 124 at drivers/i2c/i2c-core.h:54 __i2c_transfer+0x634/0x680

    [<c023e6a0>] (process_one_work) from [<c023f0a8>] (worker_thread+0x22c/0x2ec)

Fix this race condition by using the freezable instead of the normal
power-efficient workqueue.
