[f-nsp] NTP panic mode on NetIron

[Jake Mertel]

Or maybe that's not right at all. Cisco docs relating to this feature
on IOS @ http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/bsm/command/bsm-cr-book/bsm-cr-n1.html
suggest that it's a form of a sanity check that kicks in when the
device's time is more then 1000 seconds off from whatever time it is
getting from the NTP server. Suggests that it would enter this state
when device time = X and NTP server time <||> X(+||-)1000.
