Some of the metrics (RTT, RTTVAR and RTAX_RTO_MIN) are stored in kernel
units (jiffies) and this leaks out through the netlink API to user space
where the units for jiffies are unknown.

This patches changes the kernel to convert to/from milliseconds. This changes
the ABI, but milliseconds seemed like the most natural unit for these parameters.
Values available via syscall in /proc/net/rt_cache and netlink will be in milliseconds.

Looks good, applied.
