In that case, nothing good happens (we don't detect that we now have "real"
network connectivity because the available routes don't change). For Chromium OS
specifically, there is pending work to be done to have the network manager cause
tlsdated to poll for time right away when we escape from a captive portal, but
in general tlsdated doesn't handle this case properly right now.
