[RFC][PATCH - 7/12] NTP cleanup: Cleanup signed shifting logic

[john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>]

All,
	Signed shifting must be done carefully, and the ntp code has quite a
number of conditionals to do the signed shifting. This patch makes use
of the local shiftR() macro introduced in a previous patch to simplify a
bit of logic.

Any comments or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
