Hi Andrei,

Michael Kerrisk suggested to replace numeric clock IDs on symbolic
names.

Now the content of these files looks like this:
$ cat /proc/774/timens_offsets
monotonic      864000         0
boottime      1728000         0

Thanks.

Assuming no-one has objections to the patch, please do mark for stable@.

`grep -r timens_offsets Documentation' comes up blank.  Is
/proc/pid/timens_offsets documented anywhere?  If not, it should be!
And this patch should update that documentation.

I assume the time namespace feature itself is documented under clone(2)?

Thanks to Michael, we have the man page for time namespaces:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git/tree/man7/time_namespaces.7

And it will be updated according with this change.

Thanks,
Andrei
