ntpd: improve postponed hostname resolution

Browse Source 
Run the namelookup from the main loop so a misspelled first ntp server
name does not block everything forever.

This fixes the following situation which would block forever:
  $ sudo ./busybox ntpd -dn -p foobar  -p pool.ntp.org
  ntpd: bad address 'foobar'
  ntpd: bad address 'foobar'
  ntpd: bad address 'foobar'
  ...

New behavior:
  ntpd: bad address 'foobar'
  ntpd: sending query to 137.190.2.4
  ntpd: reply from 137.190.2.4: offset:-1.009775 delay:0.175550 status:0x24 strat:1 refid:0x00535047 rootdelay:0.000000 reach:0x01
