clocksync: Simplify is_active() check

In some rare circumstances it was possible for the host software to
become so busy that it does not transmit a get_clock request for
several seconds.  (In particular, this could occur with some complex
calls to coordinate_descent.)  If that happened, it was possible for
the code to incorrectly report a "Timeout with MCU" error.  Rework the
is_active() check to prevent that.
