Tina Ruchandani 85cf955df8 aoe: use ktime_t instead of timeval 
'struct frame' uses two variables to store the sent timestamp - 'struct
timeval' and jiffies. jiffies is used to avoid discrepancies caused by
updates to system time. 'struct timeval' is deprecated because it uses
32-bit representation for seconds which will overflow in year 2038.

This patch does the following:
- Replace the use of 'struct timeval' and jiffies with ktime_t, which
  is the recommended type for timestamping
- ktime_t provides both long range (like jiffies) and high resolution
  (like timeval). Using ktime_get (monotonic time) instead of wall-clock
  time prevents any discprepancies caused by updates to system time.

[updates by Arnd below]
The original patch from Tina never went anywhere as we discussed how
to keep the impact on performance minimal. I've started over now but
arrived at basically the same patch that she had originally, except for
an slightly improved tsince_hr() function. I'm making it more robust
against overflows, and also optimize explicitly for the common case
in which a frame is less than 4.2 seconds old, using only a 32-bit
division in that case.

This should make the new version more efficient than the old code,
since we replace the existing two 32-bit division in do_gettimeofday()
plus one multiplication with a single single 32-bit division in
tsince_hr() and drop the double bookkeeping. It's also more efficient
than the ktime_get_us() API we discussed before, since that would
also rely on multiple divisions.
