Yes.

Let's say wall_to_monotonic = { -10, 500000 }  (which is { -9, -500000 }, and
the original code would result in - (- 10) - 1 == 9).

The getboottime calls set_normalized_timespec on { - (-10), - (500000) } which
results to { 10 - 1, - 500000 + 1000000 } = { 9, 500000 }.
tv_sec == 9  =>  correct.
