time: Fix ktime_get_raw() incorrect base accumulation

In comqit fc6eead7 ("time: Clean up CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW time
handling"), the following code got mistakenly added to the update of the
raw timekeeper:

 /* Update the monotonic raw base */
 seconds = tk->raw_sec;
 nsec = (u32)(tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec >> tk->tkr_raw.shift);
 tk->tkr_raw.base = ns_to_ktime(seconds * NSEC_PER_SEC + nsec);

Which adds the raw_sec value and the shifted down raw xtime_nsec to the
base value.

But the read function adds the shifted down tk->tkr_raw.xtime_nsec value
another time, The result of this is that ktime_get_raw() users (which are
all internal users) see the raw time move faster then it should (the rate
at which can vary with the current size of tkr_raw.xtime_nsec), which has
resulted in at least problems with graphics rendering performance.

The change tried to match the monotonic base update logic:

 seconds = (u64)(tk->xtime_sec + tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec);
 nsec = (u32) tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec;
 tk->tkr...
