Bug 1823463

Description of problem:

I booted a system with the network cable disconnected and got:
[root@localhost ~]# date
Wed 01 Apr 2020 05:24:35 PM UTC
[root@localhost ~]# hwclock 
2020-04-08 15:15:29.146007+00:00

trying to set the time
[root@localhost ~]# hwclock --hctosys
hwclock: settimeofday() failed: Invalid argument
[root@localhost ~]# hwclock --hctosys --verbose
hwclock from util-linux 2.35.1

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.31-2.fc32.aarch64

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-2.35.1-7.fc32.aarch64

I came across https://www.mail-archive.com/info-gnu@gnu.org/msg02694.html which indicates that the apis used by hwclock is removed for new use after being previously deprecated.

if a system boots without network, date and time will be off. potentially preventing system from updating. 

How reproducible:
always 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. hwclock --hctosys
2.
3.

Actual results:
hwclock: settimeofday() failed: Invalid argument

Expected results:
time to be set
