'struct timeval' uses 32-bit representation for seconds which will overflow in year 2038 and beyond. mISDN/clock.c needs to compute and store elapsed time in intervals of 125 microseconds. This patch replaces the usage of 'struct timeval' with 64-bit ktime_t which is y2038 safe. The patch also replaces do_gettimeofday (wall-clock time) with ktime_get (monotonic time) since we only care about elapsed time here.

This doesn't apply cleanly to net-next.
