'struct timeval' uses a 32-bit representation for the

This patch replaces the usage of 'struct timeval' with
ktime_t which uses a 64-bit time representation and does not
suffer from the y2038 problem. This patch is part of a larger
effort to remove all instances of 'struct timeval', 'struct
timespec', time_t and other 32-bit timekeeping variables
from the kernel.
The patch also replaces the use of real time (do_gettimeofday)
with monotonic time (ktime_get).

I had dropped this from 4.2 as there were issues reported, but forgot to
write a mail about it...
Can you send a updated patch with the issues fixed?
