Fix: handle negative clock offset for lttng-ust metadata

In the unlikely situation where a system sets its hardware clock
(CLOCK_REALTIME) to 0 (Epoch) after boot, the difference

  monotonic - realtime

becomes negative.

Fixup this situation by returning a 0 offset in this case.

This ensures that trace viewer implementations (e.g. babeltrace) which
currently cannot handle the negative offset (known bug) still work with
the generated traces.

This patch should be applied to master and stable-2.7.
