In 94dd85a8d0a ("timekeeping: Add system_counterval_t to struct
system_device_crosststamp") my version ditched the system_counterval_t
on the stack and just used the one in xtstamp directly.

The convert_base_to_cs() function probably wants to scv->id=cs->id for
itself anyway; otherwise it's leaving behind an inconsistent
system_counterval_t object which... will lead to exactly the bug my
first version of that had, that I see you avoided :)
