mate-time-admin: 'Lock' button does not take effect

[Hector B]

Menu, "Control center", "Hardware", "Time and Date Manager".
Try clicking the button 'Lock'.
Regardless of how many times it is clicked, the button always shows "Lock" and its text says "Dialog is unlocked".

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

New versions of systemd, polkit is no longer used to request authentication from users. Regular users can use `timedatectl` to modify time without authentication，The lock button can be removed.
