settime patch for 2.4

Attached is the settime patch I had sent earlier, applied to the 2.4 bk
tree.

To review, it catches calls to stime(2), and removes redundancy of
security_settime and capable(CAP_SYS_TIME).  The security and dummy
versions of security_settime fall back to capable(CAP_SYS_TIME), so,
since most modules use dummy_settime, their behavior should not change.

I believe this addresses the main concerns we'd been given when
security_settime was not accepted into the mainline kernel.  Is that the
case?

thanks,
