Make ntpd.service finish after setting the timebaserock/richardmaw/S5892/boot-sequencing

This also includes a cleanup of the ntpd-set.sh script.

It used recursion unnecessarily, when a for loop with seq would work.

This has the side effect of making the attempts to start unconfigured
network interfaces more alarming, as they appear as FAILURE in the
boot log.
